Doll Man #2
Doll Man #2 (Spring 1942) is an anthology issue containing multiple stories. "The Doll Man" features Darrel Dane, a scientist endowed with the power to shrink himself to tiny size, who battles a blood-crazed killer and later becomes involved in a plot by toy shop owner Mr. Pelego, who uses a board of health license scheme as a racket—leading Doll Man to intervene. "The Giant Killer," written by William Everett Wrightell, depicts Dr. Roberts' experimental serum that causes a rabbit to grow to monstrous size; when the creature escapes and threatens the city of Clifton, Darrel Dane uses his shrinking abilities to help stop the threat, though the creature eventually reaches the harbor and sinks into the sea.
