In "The Circle of Kafoon," a 1942 issue of All-American Comics, Doiby is mistaken for an Asian deity named Dhoy Bee when he seeks help from Green Lantern, leading his would-be kidnappers to believe he’s summoned a demon. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Irwin Hasen—both handling pencils and inks—this tale blends mystery and mistaken identity with a touch of supernatural intrigue, all rendered in the distinctive style of the era. The cover, also by Hasen, captures the moment’s tension with bold, dynamic lines.
