Tom versus Flash number 208 or Never Trust a Fence who's wearing a costume.

Welcome back to the Flash number 208, the August 1971 issue featuring a cover pencil by Neil Adams,

inked by Dick Girodano, edited by Julie Schwartz, is the entire issue as I speak like Yoda.

Our first story in this issue is A kind of miracle in Central City written by Robert

Canager, penciled by Irv Novick, inked by Murphy Anderson.

Let's get right into it.

We have an interesting splash page.

You see two men in Civil War outfits, another guy dressed like an indian shooting two teenagers

in a cave there's no flash in it what's going on why is this in there you know canneger's teasing us how can

this how can this possibly be why would the flash not be involved well we also see that seems like some

people are making a pilgrimage to a run downdown church in Central City. This isn't the

bad part of Central City. It's not a religious one, though. It's a bunch of teens bringing

stolen goods to a gang of crooks, as four mentioned, who are dressed like a northern

Civil War soldier, a Southern Civil War soldier, and a dude dressed like an Indian.

I don't trust these guys to run any sort of gang. And as the kids are dropping their stuff off,

the lead kid, Vic, you know, I asked when we were going to get our stuff, he's like,

the Indian guy's like, listen, when the top man shows up to pick it off, that's when you get paid

off. Well, just keep the stuff yourself man shows up to pick it off, that's when you get paid off.

Well, just keep the stuff yourself and sell it.

You got this church that you're using defense stuff.

You got two guys in Civil War reenactment costumes.

I'm not that intimidated by him.
