“The Murdered Clues!”

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.
