Doll Man #22

The tiny titan faces a tiny terror in this May 1949 issue of Doll Man, where our miniature hero squares off against Tom Thumb, billed right on the cover as a "miniature master of menace!" The cover delivers an immediately gripping scene: a red autogyro tears through a city skyline with a terrified young woman trapped in its open cockpit alongside a sinister figure in a blue suit and top hat, while a tiny Doll Man — red cape and all — clings desperately to the aircraft's landing gear far below. It's a wonderfully energetic piece of 1940s pulp adventure that captures everything appealing about Quality Comics' pint-sized champion.
