Tom versus the Flash number 321 or first murder, then ice cream.

Welcome back for the Flash number 321, the May 1983 issue, featured cover pencil by Carmine Infantino, inked by Rodin Radigas.

Our first story in this issue was Hell in the Fast Lane, written by Curry Bates, pencil, but Carmen and Fantino,

inked by Taurus S, seems to be some sort of mythical creature, letter, Ben Oda, colorist, Gafford.

I assume it's Carl, but who knows could be the whole family?

We begin, a nightmare scene, sort of reverse colors, swirling energy everywhere. A flash-like figure tangled up in

it screaming that he's been trapped in this infinity for God knows how long, and that he wants

out screaming, clutching his head, and then we cut to Utopia Towers with yet another sign,

different script on it, still leaning up against the doorway. Barry Allen wakes up from a

nightmare, which I think is what we saw in that

first panel, but who knows, drenched in sweat, worried, the details already becoming a haze in

his mind, but he knows why he's been so disturbed. It's this whole thing with Fiona, and he's

haunted by Iris. The fact that he's finally admitted it, that he loves Fiona, bothers him deeply, because he feels like he's betraying his dead wife by Iris. The fact that he's finally admitted that he loves Fiona, bothers him deeply

because he feels like he's betraying his dead wife, Iris. He turns over in the bed to look at a

picture of Iris thinking about his guilt about what's going on. What will you do? How can he deal with

it? He even quotes Oscar Wild, which I greatly appreciate. As Oscar Wilde once said, the only way to

overcome temptation is to give

into it, picks up the phone, calls Fiona in the middle of the night, which is weird, I guess,

like three in the morning. She wakes up not too freaked out by it. She seems a little mystified by

Barry Allen, but she does ask him if he'll drive her to the cemetery so she can

spend a few minutes with Creed.

She's still hung up on Creed Phillips.
