Taub versus the Flash number 32, or the many, many emotions of Tomar Ridd.

Welcome back for the Flash number 32 to June 1983 issue,

feature cover pencil bar Carmine Infantino, inked by Rodin Rodriguez,

with the entire issue being it quote unquote edited by Ernie Colon.

We'll get to that with the backup story.

Our first story in this issue is Burning a Speedster at both ends, written by Carrie Bates, penciled by

Carmen and Fantano, inked by Dennis Jensen, lettered by Phil Felix, colored by Carl Gafford.

We begin several hundred miles north of Central City. That farm, remember, I believe it was the Turner family. I think it's the Turner family. I put that last issue away, so I can't really look at it. I guess I could listen to the podcast. I did. But I never listen to him. Once they're out, they're just gone. They're like strangers to me. So we're just going to call it the Turner Farm. At the Turner Far, where Tomar Ray crashed, you know, he had pancakes last time.

He's been hanging out.

He's been telling him that he has to get to Central City to talk to the Flash. His ring is out of juice. Doesn't have his battery, so he can't fly there. So he's had to come up with another plan to get there quickly. He has to get there faster than a tractor or a truck can get him there. But using the tractor in the truck, he has been rather industrious.

He's been in the barn.

He's developed a... than a tractor or a truck can get him there. But using the tractor in the truck, he has been

rather industrious. He's been in the barn. He's developed a rocket-type ship to fly him there,

using pieces from the tractor and the truck. Though I think this will cripple the family farm.

I'm pretty sure that, I mean, farming's a hard lifestyle. I can't imagine in the DC universe being a farmer is that much easier than being a farmer nowadays, especially owning a family farm, not a giant corporate farm.

And Tomaray's taken two of their biggest tools and use them to make a ship to fly him a couple hundred miles so he can warn the flash about something.

But the turners are totally cool with it.

I mean, he's got an emergency.

He's got to help the flash.

He does offer to reimburse them.

I would like to see the check that comes from the guardians to reimburse you for the tractor and truck.

Get out the checkbook and just write it out.
