Irreversibly shrunken to doll-size as an experiment in crime-fighting, disfigured by being burned in acid by a bad guy, Fly-Man dons a mask and stabs evil in the back!
Spitfire Comics (August 1941).

ReplyDeleteWe should all have such a devoted son.
ReplyDelete-- SCAM
itty bitty man with knives. that's about the dumbest thing i've seen.
ReplyDeleteCome on, where's the leatherbound, gold-embossed archive edition of tales like THIS!?
ReplyDeleteI like the mask, it makes him cooler than Doll-Man
ReplyDeletebut just a little...
I want to play with giant knives.
ReplyDeleteOh, right, I get it -- if his face weren't scarred, there wouldn't be much point in wearing a mask.
ReplyDeleteNot as though anyone would have trouble picking him out of a lineup.
It's a Ginsu knife, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong that I really dig the layout of the fourth panel, where Fly-Man is hucking a knife at the reader? That's a nifty bit of comicry.
ReplyDeleteThe flow is off, but the shapes are nifty, as is the foreshortened Bigg Nife coming straight at ya. Keen.
That was HARSH. It's one thing to throw a guy to his doom, but to decide halfway down that you're not done killing him yet, well that's just cold-blooded. And then to pierce him with a knife the relative size of a sawmill blade? Cripes, what'd the guy do, weave a daisy-chain of entrails around the perimeter of London?
