Mystery in Space #4
In "Master of Doom!", Dr. John Arden, a brilliant inventor, finds himself on the run after creating a device that lets him vibrate through solid matter—only to be accused of a string of crimes he didn’t commit.

Written by Robert Starr and illustrated with sharp precision by Gil Kane, inks by John Giunta, this 1951 DC mystery blends science fiction intrigue with a classic chase, all wrapped in a striking cover by Carmine Infantino and Bernard Sachs.
