Green Lantern #38
In "The Murdered Clues!", Green Lantern faces a baffling new foe in Gotham City as the mysterious Mr. Paradox uses mind-bending illusions rooted in scientific paradoxes to challenge Alan Scott. With Clay Chalmers’s radio program abruptly canceled, the Green Lantern suspects him behind the crimes—though the truth may be far more twisted. Written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated by Irwin Hasen, with inks by Frank Giacoia, this 1949 classic features a striking cover by Alex Toth.
When a series of objects in Alan Scott’s office appear to have been "murdered" — each bearing the marks of a violent end — Green Lantern is drawn into a mystery that mirrors a string of real killings. With no clear motive and no obvious suspect, the clues point to a sinister pattern only he can unravel.
When Clay Chalmers’s radio program is canceled, Alan Scott suspects the former host has turned to crime as the mysterious Mr. Paradox, a villain who uses mind-bending illusions rooted in scientific paradoxes to challenge Green Lantern.
