OK- I really like the Flash, I’ve been reading the Flash since I was in about 3rd grade. When I was a kid my parents tended to go to the same place every Friday for dinner. Those who know me, might figure this actually is part of my DNA. One of the cool things was there was a bookstore just across from the place we ate. My parents would buy us a book pretty much every week or two. I would run to the science fiction section and picked up many books, before I could really read them (the covers looked cool). I also ended up with a number of books dealing with olde tyme comic books. Secret origins, or golden age heroes. If I’d try to buy copies of the books I used to read.. well let’s just say “comic books.” One origin I remember reading about was Plastic Man (his was a somewhat comedic). Now I actually kind of appreciate Eel O’Brian’s irreverent view of the world. He’s kind of a goofball, and the world needs more goofballs. IMHO If you are too serious, your life is probably miserable, you just don’t know it.
