scans_dailyFrom "Deadman and the Flying Graysons #1",
Following on from the preview here are less than three pages...
This is set in an alternative timeline where John and Mary Grayson never died, and instead have stayed as performing family, The Flying Graysons with their, now grown up, son Dick.
They are still with the circus, but due to other events in the Flashpoint timeline, they are stuck in Europe, the circus travelling from town to town, trying to avoid the Amazon incursions, and entertaining the catastrophe stricken towns they visit.
They are one of the star attractions of the circus, the other being Boston Brand, the aerialist known as "Deadman". Whilst the Grayson's trapeze act entertains and amazes, Brand performs scene-stealing, death-defying stunts. He's also a vain and arrogant loner who refuses to help out around the circus, because it's beneath his dignity (They Grayson's pitch in wherever help is needed, because that's what family does, and they view the whole circus as their family, and it's mutual)
Oh, Lord the thoughts going through my head with the three of them like that... seriously... the "good looks" genetics in that family are INSANE! The YES PLEASE aspect of Dick and John side by side (and if Mary were present, I'd certainly be willing to experiment) is offset slightly by the fact that the happy family dynamic is just so CUTE!
Later, as they prepare for a performance, Brand has a quick word with Dick.
And we see that in the next page
Sadly, sideshow act Doctor Fate (Yes, it appears to be the real one, but alternate timelines yadda yadda) it's hinted that a tragedy will soon befall this happy family (but maybe not the one we're used to, but which could be even more devastating!
But in the meantime, revel in the sheer delight of Dick with his proud parents...
