Count me in as a fan of Linda. She and Wally were one of the things I loved about that volume of Flash. We got to watch them go through a lot of triumph and torment and they always came out stronger for it. Rebirth is poorer for her general absence of late.
This is a great idea. Thank you for opening this thread.
Another reason Messner Loebs' run on the Flash is second only to Mark Waid (and even then, it's only JUST)
Linda was a great foil for Wally and under Waid's pen became the perfect partner for him too.
It's just another dynamic that's really been missed since Wally's 'return' in Rebirth.
"My name is Wally West. I'm the fastest man alive!"
I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
Am generally not one for female characters (despite being both a female and as declared by some "a character" ) but Linda helped a -lot- in making reading Wally fun. There romantic moments were truly romantic; their spats sometimes downright comedic and imho treasured. On of the greatest rotten things about the time around DC52 was that Wally wasn't 'diverse enough' for inclusion in DC52 -- total rot as Linda was a minority and that made her and Wally's tykes 'bi-racial'. The fact that Linda is still missing from Wally's life is a sign to me that Didio still has his claws itching to get rid of all things wonderful.
Parental care is way exhausting. Gained insight into what my parents went through when I was a baby. Not fun, but what ya gonna do? (Read comics, obviously.)
In general I miss when our heroes were allowed to have happy committed relationships!
But definitely liked Linda a lot, their relationship was very "real".
I really miss Linda Park ...

Loved Linda in this story where she goes under cover to expose this cult Wally was getting pulled into.
