Tom versus the Flash number 326 or The Hose Love the Flash.

Welcome back for the Flash number 326, the October 1983 issue-feature cover pencil

like Carmine Infantino, inked by Gary Martin with the entire issue being edited by Ernie

Cologne. Our story in this issue is, shame in scarlet, written by

Carrie Bates, pencil by Carmen Infantino, inked by Gary Martin, Phil Felix is the letter, Carl Gafford

the colorist. Before we get to the story, I like to apologize for the long gap between episodes.

I went to New Mexico for a wedding, and I hurt my back. I pinched a nerve

in my back on the way back from the wedding, and it was extremely painful for several days

to the point where I couldn't sit up to really do the show. And if you've ever heard someone

doing a podcast while they're lying down, it sounds like they're lying down. And I, no one wants

to listen to someone lying down. You want someone sitting, but I might even just stand and do this.

I want to really capture the energy of someone yelling at you while standing. But I mean,

I couldn't do the show like that. So I'm finally, uh, with the aid of pain, uh, medicine and

ibuprofen and, uh, laying in bed for several days, I can now sit. So I'm back to do the show. Pain free. So you're going to, well, not pain free. I still have quite a bit of pain. But not enough to override my enthusiasm for the flash. You should not be able to pick up on it. And things for the flash are not going so well.

We begin, Central City, police headquarters, the media swarming the front of it.

We see pounding on the glass.

They're like vultures, the media in Central City.

The flash is being arrested for murder, and of course the media is all over.

The cops guarding the front door.

One reporter makes a break for it goes charging right towards the cops breaks through them gets through the door

only to have a cop pick them up and throw them out the door does the cops hate the media they

love the flash the cops love the flash they hate that this is going on we see what's going on
