Tom versus the Flash number 127 or Grod demands a recount.

Welcome back for the Flash number 127 of the March 1962 issue featuring a cover pencil by Carmen Infantino and inked by Joe Giella.

Our creative team for both stories is the same.

Written by John Broome, pencil by Carmen and Infantino, inked by Jogiela, and edited by Julie Schwartz.

Our first story is The Rain of the Super Gorilla. It's a Grod story. It's a great grad story.

And one I wish I would have done far closer to election time. For reasons we'll see in a minute.

At a local state person, local central city.

We see a prisoner being released, one William Dawson.

You might remember that William Dawson is the human who has Grodd's mind inside of him.

William Dawson was one of those traveling circus managers.

He showed up in Central City to take sort of a temp job running a circus side show and his mind taken over by Grod, blasted the flash with a gun making him a thousand pounds. It's old hat, we've all been there. It's time to move on. Well, Dawson's now released. He gets his new suit. He gets offered his $10. He refuses the $10. He says he won't get him far where he's going.

As he's leaving, the warden notices, Dawson is far hairier now than he was when he first got to

prison. Now, maybe it's just because Dawson doesn't take advantage of the twice a month haircut offer

that Mirror Master seemed to be loving, or maybe something else is happening.

Let's Dawson gets out of prison, of course we see that it's grod inside his mind.

He's saying, I'm glad the warden didn't figure out why I'm saying to become so hairy, and I need

to get out of this country lightning quick.

Of course, we turn the page.

He's in Gorilla City.

So he goes from Central City to Gorilla City.

Listen, we don't have tons of pages to explain it.

We don't have mini-series these days just about the boat trip across.
