They were my two favourites as a 6 year old and still remain so for the mix of new material and well chosen old material. I give Flash 229 the advantage for the better new material, though I think I love Shazam! 12 more because of the old material. But in both cases the reprint and the new material blend together seamlesslyGraemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14874622261770189776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897036.post-33444687670354407042011-03-23T02:39:42.191-04:002011-03-23T02:39:42.191-04:00I'm rather fond of them myself.

They were the artists on The Flash when I began reading/collecting them, and I sort of hated it when Infantino returned.<br /><br />As for Flash #229, I use to have that one a long, long time ago. It was always one of my favorites. Who wouldn't love the 100 page issues? I still miss those groovy covers, too.jefsviewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897036.post-3331007623457233412011-03-22T22:40:35.202-04:002011-03-22T22:40:35.202-04:00I am glad to read of the high esteem with which yo...I am glad to read of the high esteem with which you hold the Novick/McLaughlin team Scott. I share it. A while back I expressed as much over on the CBR Classics board, but was surprised to find that my my opinion was not more widely shared. I find the two complement each other so very well. And it's their work on the Flash, (more so than the Novick Batman I would say)that we see virtually a whole artistic era of Flash defined, an era that may not equal the classic wiry look of the Scarlet Speedster established by Infantino in the years preceding, but it sure fits well with the New Bronze Age look DC was developing. Flash #229... a great comic indeed.craignoreply@blogger.com
