Backstage with The Flash!

In salute to the new The Flash film, here's a look at the 1990 series, from the June 1991 Amazing Heroes, #191.






Campers, I cheered in one of the otherworldly sequences of the new Flash film.  I saw a guy running on a treadmill with a Mercury-type hat on.  I clapped because I thought the CGI guy was John Wesley Shipp.  Imagine my disappointment to learn otherwise!

Still, it's a good flick.  Any movie featuring Michael Keaton's Batman beating up Kryptonians can't be all bad!

Trolling for Attention

I had a troll in the late 1960s. Its body was painted glossy black, because it came with a "bat" costume made of black felt! No, I don't know where it now is.

This article is from the November 1969 Reader's Digest, concerning the whole troll phenom up to that date.


My Bat-Troll looked like this (from an online sale site)!
Bet you didn't know there was a time when being a "troll" wasn't an insult!?!

See you Thursday.
