In "The Man Whom Nobody Saw!", ordinary man Bill Botss becomes the unlikely focus of a bizarre case when even the Flash can't seem to ignore him—though that might be the real problem. Written by Gardner F. Fox and illustrated by E. E. Hibbard, this 1943 Flash Comics standout finds the Scarlet Speedster tackling a mystery that’s less about speed and more about being seen. The cover by E. E. Hibbard captures the oddity of a man who’s everywhere and nowhere at once.
