In "The Evil of Lester DuBois," Doll Man is summoned to the DuBois Powder Plant after a late-night discovery by Dr. Roberts reveals a dangerous sabotage—steel filings secretly mixed into explosive powder, creating a deadly risk to national defense. With Reed Crandall handling both pencils and inks, the story unfolds with tense precision, while John Devlin's cover captures the lurking threat of the plant's shadowed halls. A 10-cent comic from 1941, this issue stands as a sharp, early example of wartime suspense in the Golden Age.
