| 0:00.0 | Tom versus Flash number 205 or you haven't fought evil until you fought farming. |
| 0:08.8 | Welcome back for the Flash number 205, the April May 171 issue. |
| 0:13.8 | It is a spectacular giant-tized flash issue. |
| 0:17.7 | It's got reprints. |
| 0:18.9 | It's got an unpublished Jay Garrick story. It's got a little bit of |
| 0:21.5 | everything. So I'm going to do the Jake Garrick story. I'm going to do the Johnny Quick story. So you'll get a little bit of, you get something in here. It's a big, big issue, though. The entire thing's edited by Julie Schwartz with the cover by Dick Giordano. The first story in this issues a reprint of Menace of the Reverse Flash, |
| 0:38.7 | reprinted from Flash No. 139, which was the first appearance of Professor Zoom. |

| 1:11.4 | stuff would just kind of sit around and wait until they needed to put something in and when |
| 1:16.1 | eventually the golden age superheroes sort of fell off in popularity there was stories that never |
| 1:22.8 | got published and this would be one and one of the weird parts of it is there's not really a credit for who |
| 1:28.8 | wrote it. I can't find a reliable credit, so I'm not going to say, you know, I can't guess |
| 1:33.9 | who it is. But the art is penciled by Carmen and Fantino and inked by Bernard Sachs, and the story is |
| 1:40.9 | the Golden Age Flash and Journey Into Danger. |
| 1:45.1 | We got trains. |
| 1:45.9 | We got farmers. |
