Wally is cute. Barry is powerful; and has that dashing hero thing going on. And the Silver Age was a strange time. A strange time, indeed. Scans from #105-#133




Before Iris is in on the secret identity thing? Does that constant Lois Lane thing where she won't shut up about how awesome the Flash is and how lame her boyfriend is. Women.






Yeah, that is Mirror Master being threatening with a giant mosquito. XD




Toreador jokes never get old.










And now that Barry is done pwning cloud formations...




Aww, look! It's Kid Flash before he got his own costume! Isn't he precious?





Wally promptly forgets this vow, in the interests of impressing girls and cheating at sports; which is a longstanding Flash tradition.







See?





That last panel? He's just so darn cute!



You may notice the difference between this story and the one Ralph gives, found in Identity Crisis. I tend to side with Ralph on this one.



I dig Ralph's uniform; just not the mask.



::snort:: :giggle::



::gives Ralph a big giant hug because he's just such a darling::





Dear Mirror Master:

You look like a creepy pederast.

Sincerely, V.



An amazing piggy-back ride followed by an exciting weekend with friends! Not a subtextual thing to be found.





However you want to convince yourself you aren't lying to your parents is fine, hun.

If it wasn't for Te, I prolly wouldn't have a second thought about that "Dangerous Curve" sign.



Ralph sure is stretchy.



You fiend! However will Barry escape your fiendish plot to achieve fame and fortune?



Luckily, it takes him a while, because this is just fabulous.


Oh, the Silver Age. Endlessly fabulous indeed.

OMG! Wally is so totally cute... and for once I mean it in a friendly, motherly, totally non-lusty and non-slashy way!

You know that Ralph looks like a chick when Wally grabs him from behind?
Ah, Ralph and Sue before she kinda died and he kinda went mad. Those were the times...

I think I've seen the cover to that puppet Flash story! So the comic actually was about what was on the cover.

This actually happens more often than not in Flash comics. It's a nice change, not having to dodge all the false advertising. XD

"I have the strangest feeling that I'm being turned into a puppet!"

...

I am not sure I would know the feeling if I ever felt it. It's quite the crazy thing to say.

I <3 Barry. He's aweeeesome. I just love his crazy sexy adventures with Ollie and Hal. Go team!

Ho-kay, lemme reveal my comic IQ here: Isn't Barry Wally's nephew? Didn't Wally spend summers at Barry and Iris' because his parents sucked? Or was that just a really good fic I read?

Wally is Iris' nephew, so Barry's by marriage. And yes; he did. Even before he became Kid Flash, he spent time with Iris because his parents were douchebags, as seen a bit here (http://victoria-wayne.livejournal.com/37236.html).

I also made this post (http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/2079779.html) all about how crazy his parents are. Which is VERY.
