Today’s guest post is by Glenmarc F. Antonio, whose Flash memorabilia collection has previously been featured here on Speed Force in our first Collector’s Showcase. My name is Glenmarc F. Antonio, and I’m Flash.  That makes me the Fastest Man Alive.  Well, not really. I’m actually a 30-something Digital Media specialist for the Philippine’s largest telco provider.  In my heyday, I was one of the fastest runners in my company, and was fairly athletic, having competed in basketball at a varsity level back in college.  My self-confessed similarities to the Flash’s (superhuman) speed however do not end there. An introduction with the Scarlet Speedster I got introduced to the Scarlet Speedster when I was really young, having watched and loved the live-action Flash TV series starring John Wesley Shipp in the late 90s-early 2000s when it was shown in the local channel.  The moment I saw that golden lightning emblazoned across John’s chest as the opening credits were shown (plus Danny Elfman’s masterful The Flash theme song), I fell in love with the character.  For me, Shipp was THE Flash.  His portrayal of Barry Allen (with a subtle mix of Wally West) was in my honest opinion, absolutely on-point.  I watched all of the episodes and didn’t mind re-runs.  Seeing him running in his bright red suit was a joy.  I wanted to be him.  No, I wanted to be The Flash. I guess I have my mom to blame as well.  Being the very 1st geek in the family, my mother Ruby introduced me to the world of comics, as she was the one who bought me my 1st title (Jim Lee’s X-men #1), and over the years, has steadily maintained and monitored my voracious consumption of comicbook geekery.  I still remember when she gave me the Death Of Superman TPB as a gift when I graduated from grade school school.  Yes, that’s how geeky she is.  From there, I have shuttled between fandoms, Marvel and DC Comics (and for a brief period, Image Comics). Over time, I saw myself being more of a DC-fan long after the live-action TV series was cancelled.  I have always been pro-mutant given my X-men roots, but I have grown to appreciate the Justice League and its many incarnations.  And while the comics have already focused on Wally West taking over the cowl of The Flash since Barry’s apparent demise in the 80s mega-crossover “Crisis On Infinite Earths”, I still hoped that Barry would come back.  That he would be The Flash again. “We meet again, old friend” Fast forward to about 6 years after I graduated from grade school.  I have since completed 4 years of high school and while it was one of the geekiest times of my life (I got introduced to console gaming, RPGs, Magic The Gathering, etc), my fandom for The Flash lay dormant.  While I have utmost respect for Wally West and his run as The Flash (as well as his fans), Barry was still the definitive Flash for me. Two years into college, and after having been selected to play for my university’s Men’s Basketball Varsity Team, I got reintroduced to the Flash fandom.  It was during one of my regular trips to the neighborhood computer rental shop that I noticed that the shop owner kept a collection of DC action figures, and a loose but complete The Flash from the Total Justice line produced by Kenner got me staring at the counter (where it was prominently displayed).  Since I was friends with the owner, I managed to buy the figure off him after numerous attempts (action figure collecting wasn’t that much of a boom yet back in 1998 here in the Philippines). Now a proud owner of my very first The Flash action figure, I began to look for more to add to my collection – hence the start of my Flash Museum project.  As long as a Flash item was official DC merchandise, it became part of the Flash stash.  I slowly began acquiring Flash collectibles in 2nd year of college, and expanded my collection to cover comicbooks, keychains, shirts, mugs, and other Flash-themed novelty items. [Editor's note: Speed Force featured Glenmarc's col

he-smiled-like-a-weatherman: “James… JAMES - GO AND CHECK YOUR WARDROBE! I think Axel may have been snooping again…” So, there is a second picture to go with this of Owen wearing Digger’s retro outfit… Um… It’ll be up when I colour it successfully. Aw nice, this turned out really well :)

May 19th is Digger’s birthday!  It’s also this blog’s 3rd birthday! (which is actually just a coincidence, but a pretty good one)

Comics Weekend "The Show-Off of the Sea" by Bob Haney(?) and Ramona Fradon.It's Adventure Sunday!Martha Kent is gonna show us Superboy's invulnerable diapers! What a scoop!Aquaman books yet another sweet TV gig in this month's adventure: Once again Aquaman is accused of ruining the show, leaving the Sea King only to sputter a lame apology. He's warned that if he tries the same shtick during the Moby Dick scene, the whole episode will be ruined.The day of filming arrives, and Aquaman--dressed as Ahab--approaches his whale pal, who is playing the title character:...and so ends another adventure with Aquaman!Not one of Aquaman's most compelling adventures, hinging as it does on the idea that Captain Wood didn't see him blink--a minor detail impossible to convey effectively in comic book form. So when it's the big reveal at the end, it seems like a real stretch.And again with the smugglers! It's 1957 for Neptune's Sake, it's time for aliens and super-villains--smugglers seem like such a quaint notion, and this group is so lame they get defeated entirely off-panel.In contrast to the story, Ramona Fradon pulls off one of her nicest art jobs--I love seeing Aquaman in all those different get-ups (the splash page is especially nice), and I can't be the only one that wonders why she never got a chance to tackle an issue of Classics Illustrated. Something by Herman Mellville, perhaps?

…..and all he had to do was touch Len’s groin.

The camera just turned itself on.  He’s not a model.
