Gardner Fox starts to experiment more with the weird science meets gangster themes for the Flash stories.
The Hawman story demonstrates how Joe Kubert was being more creative from the straight gangland capers.

I’ve reprinted the Hawman vs. Simple Simon story here. Reading the start of the story of how Simple Simon escaped from prison reminded me of a similar escape achieved twenty years later by I. Q. Quimbly in Hawkman #7.

The title moves to a bi-monthy for a brief time.
