Tom versus the Flash number 237 or the wedding bands in Earth West are not that good.

Welcome back for the Flash number 237 in November 1975 issue,

featuring a cover by Ernie Chan with the issue being edited by Julie Schwartz.

The first story in our issue is The 1,000 Year Separation, written by Carrie Bates with pencils by Irv Novick,

We cut back to Earth 2, where Dr. Fate and Jay Garrick are watching everything.

It's Dr. Fate put a spell on the cosmic treadmill so it wouldn't quite work.

Finally, Barry's like, oh, let me experiment.

If I can't go forward, I can't go backward, I'm going to move sideways.

And he starts vibrating sideways away from the treadmill.

And since he's already vibrating at the right speed,

pop, he disappears. Twitch Jay says, Flash found a way to Outwittis. Do something, Dr. Fade,

saying, there's only one thing enough to do, my friend. We shit our pants. Now, he doesn't say that,
