“The Formula to Fairyland! [Prologue]”

In "The Formula to Fairyland! [Prologue]," a 1943 All-Flash tale by Gardner Fox and E. E. Hibbard, a bookstore owner—unaware he’s been rescued by the Flash—mistakenly credits the Three Dimwits with his salvation, rewarding them with a mysterious book on summoning Fairyland. On Halloween, the trio and the Flash, along with Joan, chant the incantation and vanish into the magical realm, setting off a surreal journey that begins with a single, fateful page. The cover by E. E. Hibbard captures the whimsical dread of the moment, a 10-cent comic in 1943 that blends science and sorcery with classic Golden Age flair.

A local bookstore owner, unknowingly saved by the Flash, believes that the Three Dimwits have saved him and thus rewards them (as scientists) with a rare volume on how to enter Fairyland. When the appointed night, Halloween, arrives, they read the magic incantation, shrink and enter into Fairyland, as do the Flash and Joan, who also repeat the words.
