This issue of the Flash introduces a curious character by the name of Paul Gambi, as many comic fans have asked themselves, where do these superheroes and villains get their snappy duds, and here is an issue that answers that in-joke of a query, The percursor to "The Incredbles" Edna Mode, Gambi is the tailor to the villains in Central City, and he may also be considered a minor villain himself due to his activities in this entertaining issue. The Flash is hot on the trail of the Top, after ripping a piece from his costume, he decides to backtrack and seek out the maker of the suit, going undercover, he encounters Gambi and his shop and convinces the tailor to make him a uniform, but a trap is sprung, and only the quick wits of Barry Allen spin his eventual tale of freedom. A minor classic, and an oddity that takes a look behind the scenes of the everyday needs of our adored comic book characters.
