In Flash Comics #97 (1948), a dying man’s final act sets off a dangerous chain of events when a mysterious cloth containing a priceless dye formula is found in his mouth—putting Larry and the Black Canary in the crosshairs of ruthless criminals willing to kill to claim it. Written by Robert Kanigher and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Carmine Infantino and Frank Giacoia, this gripping tale blends mystery and action in a story that’s as tense as it is unexpected. The cover, a striking piece by Irwin Hasen, captures the intrigue perfectly.
