☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Tale of the Treasure Hunt!", a down-on-his-luck carnival performer named Pete Merkel takes a dangerous turn, disguising himself as a life-sized rag doll to pull off a daring heist in a department store. Written by Gardner F. Fox and illustrated by E. E. Hibbard, this 1942 Flash Comics tale introduces a surprisingly clever criminal who’s more puppet than predator—only to find the Flash is just as intrigued by the act as the police. The cover by Lou Ferstadt captures the eerie charm of the moment, making this a standout in the early Flash series.
In "Tale of the Treasure Hunt!" from Flash Comics #36 (1942), former carnival performer Pete Merkel, now down on his luck, turns to crime by disguising himself as a life-sized rag doll to steal from a department store. When he adopts the alias Rag Doll, his antics catch the attention of the Flash, who sees this odd thief as a challenge unlike any other.
In "Lost and Found," Hawkman and Hawkgirl take to the streets of Gotham City to dismantle a criminal operation hiding in plain sight—where stolen goods are secretly stashed in the city's lost and found department. With their sharp instincts and heroic resolve, the duo races to uncover the truth behind the thefts before the thieves vanish into the shadows once more.
