All-American Comics #52

In "The Spotlight on Crime!", the Green Lantern faces a cunning new foe in the form of the Silhouette, who turns the Emerald Crusader’s signature weapon—light—into a weapon of deception and shadow. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Stan Asch with inks by Jon Chester Kozlak, this 1943 thriller pits intellect against mystery in a high-stakes game of wits. The cover, a striking collaboration by Paul Reinman, Jon L. Blummer, and Sam Burlockoff, captures the tension of a hero outmaneuvered by a foe who thrives in the dark.
