| 0:00.0 | Tom versus the Flash number 183, ora. |
| 0:02.0 | The Flash doesn't make his speech till he eats his soup. |
| 0:07.9 | Welcome back to the Flash number 183, the November 1968, issue entitled The Flash's Dead Ringer, |
| 0:14.1 | written by Frank Robbins, penciled by Ross Andrew, inked by Mike Esposito, edited by Julie |
| 0:19.4 | Schwartz featuring cover by Ross Andrew, and inked by Mike Esposito, edited by Julie Schwartz featuring cover by Ross Andrew and inked by Mike |
