Certainly their work together on the Silver Age issues of Flash is outstanding. He also did a lot of ghosting for such estimable talents as Sy Barry and Frank Giacoia. Rest in peace, Mr. Giella. Still "Fickles" to my friends.

I can easily picture memorable scenes from the Silver Age of DC. Inkers are often left behind in recognition after writers and pencillers but I can certainly see how Giella left his mark.
