On This Day: The Trickster!

One of the Flash's Rogues is born

Giovanni Giuseppe was a con artist and circus acrobat before he decided to turn to a life of crime. He changed his name to James Jesse and created several clever but dangerous gag devices and a pair of shoes that let him walk on air.

Calling himself the Trickster, James embarked upon his new career, only to encounter and be defeated by the Flash. The two clashed frequently throughout the years.

For a brief period, the Trickster reformed and worked with the FBI, but he later reverted to his criminal ways.

This is one of those comics I bought off the newsstands and remember when and where I bought it: on a Sunday (like today) at Rosen's Pharmacy, Devon and Sacramento -- back then on the northeast corner. My dad was driving somewhere, and I got a comic book or two out of the deal. Probably to shut me up.

Cool cover.
