I also love stories with a bit of mystery where you don't quite know what's going on.dbutler16https://www.blogger.com/profile/00046066729353639991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-66703897079056265502014-01-31T08:45:06.393-05:002014-01-31T08:45:06.393-05:00Speaking of Shooter's sense of pacing and stor...Speaking of Shooter's sense of pacing and story structure... on rereading this story again, I think there must be a page missing as there's a jarring interruption in story flow right after "Flash" runs the rich guy off the road. On closer examination, it looks like page 11 is missing.Dave Blanchardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-29978046541857992642014-01-30T23:59:00.133-05:002014-01-30T23:59:00.133-05:00Seconding Dave Blanchard's wise words.

The young Jim Shooter had an innate sense of pacing and story structure, and this story is a perfect example.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714171897239398438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-69050462199694598872014-01-30T12:42:42.083-05:002014-01-30T12:42:42.083-05:00Thanks a million for posting that, Groove! Man, it...Thanks a million for posting that, Groove! Man, it's been a long time since I read that story, but it still holds up to this very day. I think Mort Weisinger should've hung 'em up right after this issue was published because while he stuck around DC for another year, nothing he published came anywhere near to being this fresh, exciting and just plain fun! I love all the sight gags that Curt Swan worked into the story, and you can practically feel the cigar spittle spewing out of Perry White's mouth when "Clark" tells him there was no story because the groom didn't show up. Classic stuff!!
