Doll Man #30

This September 1950 Quality Comics issue pits "The World's Mightiest Mite" against Lord Damion, the self-described "Merciless Disciple of Greed," in what promises to be a genuinely tense nautical showdown. Al Grenet's cover captures the action vividly — the tiny, caped Doll Man charges across the open sea toward a speedboat where a striped-shirted thug reels backward from a punch while two armed men, one in a captain's hat, scramble nearby, all of them dangerously close to a TNT depth charge sitting right on deck. It's a terrifically kinetic scene that makes you wonder how even the World's Mightiest Mite can outmaneuver a boatful of armed villains — and a bomb.
