Tom versus the Flash number 275 or live the carefree life of Frank Curtis.

Welcome back for the Flash number 275 to July 1979 issue featuring a fantastic cover by Dick Giordano.

Great cover, especially the look on the bizarro Superman's face on the right hand side of the cover.

This issue is edited by Ross Andrew.

Our story in this issue is The Last Dance, written by Carrie Bates, pencil by Alex Savick,

inked by Frank Chiaramonte, lettered by Todd Klein, colored by Gene D'Angelo. We begin with the Flash. Out of control.

He's being drawn somewhere by that girl from the Psychic Institute.

She's controlling his mind once again.

The girl that's attending the Tabor Institute of Psychics or whatever.

Iris is at home worried that the Flash,

Barry Allen, is cheating on her, and she's extremely concerned,

and she has this new wave haircut.

Clive Yorkin, the completely mental prisoner who has escaped, is looking through the window at Iris.

What is going to happen? Iris is inside. Very upset. She's so upset by what's been going on lately and her suspicions that maybe Barry has moved on to someone else that she's actually gone to putting a homing device in all of his rings. That's pretty high-tech

for Iris. I don't know where she would have gotten this from perhaps Batman. She probably called

Batman and asked for some type of homing device. So she's got one in each one of the rings. And she's

tracking Barry right now and she's going to go find out of the rings. And she's tracking Barry right now, and she's

going to go find out where he is. She has to know the truth. Even if he is cheating on her,

she has to know. Well, what's Clive Yorkin doing? He's still staring through the window? Well,

he isn't there to get Iris at that moment. He was just there to confirm that Barry Allen

lives there. How he knew Barry Allen lives there? I don't know. The fact that he's confirming it by looking through the window at wedding photos is a little creepy, and he's got some, he has some deranged plans for Barry, but we'll get to that in a second. So you cut back to the Flash. He's finally drawn to the Motor Manor Motel, where Melanie, the Psychic Girl, has drawn him in. This time, of course, the flash just vibrates through the wall, and so he's crashing through it. He's completely under the thrall of Melanie. It's a little creepy, but she's like 16. Teenager? She in college. How old do you have to be to get into the Tabor Psychic Institute? The Flash is frozen in place, and she's just checking him out.

She likes his body, because, as she says, slim but sinewy, not grotesquely muscle-bound
