Flash #177 (On Sale: January 18, 1968) has one of the sillier Ross Andru and Mike Esposito covers."The Swell-Headed Super-Hero" is by Gardner Fox, Ros Andru and Mike Esposito. After solving a locked room mystery, Barry Allen becomes a braggart. Then, as the Flash, Barry's head really swells as a result of a new weapon created by the Trickster. Flash's giant head causes him headaches and is in danger of bursting. The Trickster tries to pop the head like a balloon during their fight, but the Flash just passes out.
Trickster brings Flash back to his hideout, then continues the fight when the Scarlet Speedster regains consciousness.

what a classic!
Great idea for a blog. I came here from a link on Pappy's golden age comics, and I'll be coming back.
Great to have you on board Scott. I plan on being here for quite a while. Enjoy the ride!
