Amanda Pays, who played scientist Tina McGee on the 1990 Flash TV series, and Joyce Hyser, who played recurring character Megan Lockhart on the show, will be appearing at the next Hollywood Show on February 12-13 at the Burbank Airport Marriott Hotel in Burbank, California.
Tina McGee was one of several elements from the then-current Wally West series to be incorporated into the TV series, and she became Barry Allen’s support crew and one-woman research team. Megan Lockhart was an original character, a detective hired to discover the Flash’s identity. She later found herself mixed up in the Trickster’s origin. More info: Flash TV Series supporting cast.

DC has announced a contest for a signed copy of the upcoming Flash #1. During the week leading up to the April 14 release, the @DC_Nation Twitter account will post one Flash trivia question each day. The first five fans to answer each question correctly will be “eligible to win” a signed copy of the launch.
It’s not clear how many copies they’ll award, or how they’ll choose which of the up-to-35 eligible respondents will win them. They don’t actually come out and say that it’s Geoff Johns and Francis Manapul doing the signing, though it seems a safe bet.
Details will be announced on April 7.
