In "The Affair of the 'Curiosity' Ray," the Flash faces his strangest foe yet when the Grey Guardsman unleashes a bizarre ray that turns the Scarlet Speedster into an unstoppable force of pointless curiosity. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by E. E. Hibbard with inks by Hal Sharp, this 1942 classic sees the hero racing from one absurd mystery to another while the Guardsman and his gang make off with New York's treasures. The cover, also by E. E. Hibbard, captures the chaotic energy of the tale.
