| 0:00.0 | It's the time versus the flash number 279, or is it wrong that I want to find out more about the hobos? |
| 0:07.7 | Welcome back for the flash number 279, the November 1979 issue featuring a cover by Dick Giordano and quite the cover it is. |
| 0:15.9 | Nice sequence of panels there. An appropriately old-looking flash in the last sequence? What could possibly happen? |
| 0:21.9 | Issues edited by Ross Andrew. Our story is Death Feast. Story by Carrie Bates, pencils by Alex Savick, |
| 0:27.6 | inked by Frank Chiro-Monte, lettered by Benota, colored by Gene DiAngelo. We begin Central |
| 0:33.1 | City Park, that dangerous park, where it's so easy to be ambushed like the Flash was ambushed by crazed Clive Yorkin. We learned last issue, that dangerous, dangerous park where it's so easy to be ambushed like the Flash was |
