Flash Comics #42

In "The Gangster's Baby," a cunning criminal scientist unleashes a mind-bending device capable of erasing memories of his crimes from anyone who sees him—leaving the Flash to confront a foe who vanishes not just from sight, but from history itself. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff, this 1943 adventure blends pulp intrigue with early superhero science, all captured in bold, dynamic art. The cover by Lou Ferstadt perfectly captures the story’s shadowy, suspenseful tone.
