Warning! Spoilers ahead for The Flash #770!
In The Flash #770, Jay Garrick, the original Flash, returns in a big way, proving he's a great hero. The issue begins abruptly by ignoring the continuity of where the previous issue left off. This is to build context, giving readers a greater insight as to why Hitler was seen holding a Speed Force-induced Spear of Destiny in The Flash #769. Jay Garrick is re-introduced in his classic World War II setting, aiding the President to put an end to the war. He is joined by his new ally, Happy Terrill aka the Ray. They go on a highly important mission, only for Jay to be taken over by Wally.
Jay Garrick, created by Gardner Fox and Harry Lampert, first appeared in Flash Comics #1 in 1940. Jay is the original speedster to take on the Flash mantle, he was also an original member of the Justice Society of America. His character found popularity during World War II, much like other superheroes of the time. However, over the years, the Flash mantle has been passed on. Barry Allen and Wally West are the two most well-known Flash's since Jay. Although he isn't the primary Flash right now, this issue just gave Jay a spotlight to shine.
In The Flash #770 by Jeremy Adams, Jackson Herbert, Brandon Peterson, and Micheal Atiyeh, Jay Garrick returns and proves himself a great hero once again. The covert mission that the Flash and the Ray are on sees the two jumping out of a plane in the Philippines, to seek out the Spear of Destiny. Conversations about the Spear and its power create a rift between the two, however, this is just trivial as what comes next isn't so pleasant. Both heroes are headed off at the Cagsawa Ruins where they are captured by one of Hitler's key men, Parsifal.
The Flash and the Ray are shipped off to Germany as captives. It's here where Jay proves to be a great hero, staying optimistic and showing resilience over weeks of torture. Believing that they're there for a reason, Jay helps Happy persevere onwards from a point where he was ready to give up. These are just a few of the signs of Jay's heroics. Not to forget the fearlessness that it takes to fight crime in the first place. He's fully committed to saving the world, no matter what it takes. By week 5 of their capture, Jay begins to become uncharacteristically dour as he seemingly breathes his last breath. Only to be struck by lighting and taken over by Wally West.
Ultimately, Jay proves himself to be a courageous hero, set against the backdrop of World War II. Showing off his smarts, rather than his speed, he showcases great leadership qualities. Additionally, in this issue, Jay is referred to as "the famous Flash," which echoes his status in real life. Every Flash fan knows of Jay Garrick and his great comic book deeds during the Golden Age. However, with him not being the focal Flash for a long time, it's hard to put him in the mix with the likes of Barry Allen and Wally West. But given time, Jay Garrick is able to prove that he has a lot to offer, just like the newer versions of the Flash. The Flash #770 is available in comic book shops and on digital platforms now.
