☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Pied Piper's Double Doom!", The Flash and The Elongated Man find themselves caught in a bizarre criminal web, each forced by a mysterious musical mind to commit robberies they can't remember—until their paths cross while investigating the same crimes. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life by Carmine Infantino’s dynamic art and Joe Giella’s sharp inks, this 1963 classic sees the two heroes unravel a clever scheme tied to a master manipulator’s hypnotic tunes. The cover by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson captures the eerie, musical menace of the Pied Piper’s latest trap.
When the Pied Piper strikes again, he traps The Flash and Elongated Man in a twisted game of crime and amnesia, using his hypnotic music to make them commit robberies they can’t remember. As the two heroes cross paths solving each other’s baffling cases, they uncover a sinister pattern—and the shocking truth behind the villain’s double doom.
When two crooks attempt a jailbreak using the unsuspecting Dexter Myles as a distraction, Kid Flash springs into action to stop them—just in time to save the day and earn a grateful local a spot in the Blue Valley Summer Festival Playhouse. With the mayor, sheriff, and festival commissioner all involved, the small-town spectacle takes an unexpected turn, leaving the stage set for more than just a performance.
