reduced to helpless laughter...

So my Easter-time Flash binge reading continues, and I found this costumed criminal in Flash #130, The Fashioneer ... No really that's his name, and apparently fashion houses pay him to use his "time power" to "send styles back in time so that designers can get a jump on their competitors." And okay, I find it odd that he wouldn't simply get game scores or lottery numbers for himself, but what I am really wondering is, what kind of fashion house would trust someone dressed like that to pick out the successful styles from the future collections he sees?!?

Just to clarify, it's one writer, William Messner-Loebs, and yeah, he had the run before Waid, #15-#61. Waid's run is a good starting point, but I like Loebs' issues an awful lot as well, and recommend you take a look at some point. (Among other things, he created Linda and made Piper into a member of the supporting cast.)

Oh I fully intend to own and read the whole series-- eventually. Too bad annoying inconveniences like lacking money (and even reading time) always get in one's way... ;)
