I suppose the biggest thing about this issue is Barry reveals his identity to Kid Flash, i.e. Wally West.
The other big thing is the giants.
Barry and Iris go to South America to help Dr. Manners on his expedition. Wally West tags along too. Manners plans to prove that South America was once connected to Africa.
Which was theorized in 1596 and properly researched in the 1920's through the 30's, so Manners is a pinch late to the party.
Getting caught in an earthquake, the expedition finds themselves thrust back in the ancient days when Pangaea was a thing and populated by giant golden men.
Funny that Wegener didn't talk about them.
Thankfully the team makes it back to the present, with Manners producing a photo to prove his theories. Which could very easily be dismissed, but what do I know?
Not the worse yarn, but silly enough to be enjoyable.
