The Trickster is one of Barry Allen's oldest enemies, long included in the roster of the Flash's most memorable and classic Rogues. For the past several years, DC readers have been following the adventures of the second Trickster, but now the original seems to have returned as the creative team of Joshua Williamson and Skott Kolins present the secret origin of James Jesse.
It's no secret James was a circus acrobat who broke bad and tormented Barry Allen for years as a colorful supervillain, but Williamson and Kolins' tale shows us information we never knew about the man behind the domino mask and garish tights. Our exclusive preview takes us back to James Jesse's childhood, introducing his parents, a pair of career criminals who used their position as acrobats in a traveling circus to cheat unsuspecting rubes of their money.
