‘80s Flashback: Flash vs. Colonel Computron
Whenever I get nostalgic for those bygone days of videogames known as the early 1980s, I question my sanity when I come across things like this bit of videogame inspired lovliness.
In an old box of comic books I unearthed for an upcoming garage sales, I found issue 304 of Flash published by DC Comics, Inc., in December 1981. On the cover it features the dark profile of one of the weirdest comic book villains - Colonel Computron. Oh yeah, you read that right. Col. Computron - reducing Flash to a poorly pixelated videogame. The cover reads:
“When Colonel Computron plays the game, Flash… the name of the game is DEATH!“
Now that is some ‘80s greatness right there.
