Tom versus the Flash number 213 or these are the most precious tears of all.

Welcome back to the Flash number 213, the March 172, featuring a cover by Dick Giordano

with the issue being edited by Julie Schwartz.

This is a reprint issue.

So let's list off what's reprinted in here, first of all.

First is Vengeance of the Immortal villain from Flash number 137.

That was the one with Vandal Savage, having kidnapped the Justice Society, all that good stuff going on there with the second story being fatal fingers of the flash from flash number 146.

Remember you got the weird aging disease that the old oats fixed as they do, as old oats will.

So since we got a complete reprint issue, I did a little digging around to find something to cover, and

going through my long boxes, I have picked out Metal Men number 44 from July, August,

1973, with a cover penciled by Ross Andrew, inked by Mac Esposito, and with Alan Asherman as the editor.

Now, this is also, this is very convoluted situation, as will be the story,

as this is just a reprint of Metal Men No. 1.

From April, May, 1963.

The story is entitled, Rain of the Missile Men, written by Robert Canninger, yes, penciled by Ross Andrew, inked by Mike Esposito, and the issue was edited by Robert Cannigar.

So, I just listed off so many people for so many things.

Long story short, it's Metal Men number one.

Now, the Metal Men had appeared previously

in a couple issues you showcase

before getting launched into their own title.

But this works as a good introduction

and a few new elements get added as well.
