“The Case of the Camera Curse!”
★ 1st appearance — The Shining Knight

In "The Case of the Camera Curse!", Dian finds herself caught in a bizarre accident when her train is mysteriously derailed and pulled toward a strange ball-tank device emitting a comet-ray that siphons gold from the train. As the Sandman investigates, he uncovers a mad scientist harnessing the power of a comet’s tail—using it not only to fuel his device but also to reverse his aging. Paul Norris handles both pencils and inks for the interior art, while Jack Burnley delivers the striking cover. A 10-cent comic from 1941, this issue blends pulp sci-fi with early superhero mystery.

As Dian is returning home, her train is suddenly derailed and drawn toward a weird ball-tank object, whose comet-ray is violently drawing all the gold aboard the train to it. When Sandman investigates, he finds the scientist behind it, and learns that this object draws its amazing power from the the tail of a comet, power which also enables the mad scientist to become young again!
