Time versus the Flash number 121 or I never want to have to say the word skin diving again.

Welcome back for the Flash number 121, the June 161 issue featuring a cover by Carmen

Infantino and Joe Giella. Our first story is The Trickster Strikes Back written by John Broome, penciled by Carmen and Infantino, inked by Joe Giella. Our first story is The Trickster Strikes Back, written by John Broom, penciled by

Carmen Amphantino, inked by Joe Giella, and edited by Julie Schwartz. We start an estate prison.

In whatever state, central city is in, we don't know, where the prisoners are making toys.

This is a different time. This is when a lot of your toy purchases back in the early 60s are probably prison-made toys, and they were mostly model cars and planes.

I mean, that's just how it was. And one of these convicts that's working on these planes is none other than James Jesse, the trickster himself.

Now, if you had a guy who seemed adapting

children's toys and things into tricks,

would you have him building a model plane?

I'd say no, but remember, he's only been,

this is his first time in jail, they haven't got quite figured out.

So he takes his technology that he used to make his boots

that he ran on air with, the compressed air jets,

build some of him into a plane, climbs on board this tiny plane, and takes off.

It's a great visual. I will give you that. The trickster always has great visuals because of that stuff.

Brissing guards take a couple shots at him. The trickster's not bothered. See, his goal is he's out to get the flash now.

And we start to see a thread in the flash rogues that we see a little bit more as we go along.

And that's, it becomes less about robbing people and committing crimes and it is just beating the flash.

They sort of take Barry Allen personally and they want to beat him and they'll do whatever it takes

to beat him. And this is what the trickster sit out to do to embarrass him.

Back at Picture News, one of the editors gets a call. Trickster's out.
