Tom versus the Flash number 276 or become a graduate of the Frank Curtis School of Tatt.

Welcome back for the Flash number 276, the August 1979 issue featured in your cover by Dick Giordano, with the issue being edited by Ross Andrew.

Our story in this issue is, freak out.

Written by Carrie Bates, penciled by Alex Savick,

inked by Frank Chiaramonte. That's how I say. Ben Oda lettered it. Gene D'Angelo colored it.

We start off at the party. You remember previous issue? Barry, Iris, they got back together,

started out all their prompts. I'd have a baby, went to a costume party.

Looks like Iris got attacked by Clive Yorkin, the insane prisoner from the last couple issues who underwent the Nephron project.

Barry seems to have been drugged.

We open Iris in her back girl costume lying on the floor on top of Barry, who is in his flash costume, a man and a Batman costume yelling for an ambulance to come right away, because one of them is critical, pulse very low, and the other one is dead. Frank Curtis has run in with his flash costume all torn up, asking what's going on. Barry's lying on the ground thinking, they think I'm dead because I'm barely able to move. I'm alive.

Frank Curtis grabs Barry telling him, what are you doing? Stop? You're hurt. I mean, he doesn't know that he's the flash. Barry says, I have to stop him. And Barry falls out the window from the second. People, I've been to parties, some crazy-ass parties, but I've never seen a party where two people fell out of a second-story window.

So we look down and there's Barry lying on the ground in the bushes, having fallen from the window.

Frank Curtis and the guy in the backman costume run downstairs to check it out.

And Barry's gone.

We see what's happened.

Barry's up and running at Super Street, sweating, pulling himself together, chasing down Clive Yorkin,

who's sort of in his twisted gate galloping through the forest.

It's no use that.

Barry is pissed off.

He's twisted.

He's angry at what Clive has done to Iris.

So he finally cuts him off, running in front of him, grabbing Yorkin by the throat,
