I don't see your comments as prude-ish at all, Eric.  The closing scene in
Flash disturbed me almost as much as the fact there was no super-speed 
action in this issue.  You would think that someone who flicks bullets out
of their flight path, runs laps around the earth in seconds flat, and changes
clothes in 6/100 of a second (am I right on that one?) would've seen Big
Sir's weapon (morningstar?) LONG before it struck.  Heck, with his reflexes
he should've instinctively shifted into vibratory mode the split-second that
thing even began to dimple his cheek!  That's an annoying habit I've noticed
about Cary Bates--he slows down the Flash to get him into trouble and then
brings him back up to "normal" speed to get him out.  That's a shoddy way 
to compensate for a lack of a storytelling imagination!

Swamp Thing--one of my favorite books!  Exit Comics Code symbol, enter 
"Sophisticated Suspense"......I love it!
