(Green Lantern I #1) - Hop Harrigan's pal Tank said men were after him, and Hop saw him dragged away by athletic gentlemen. He hailed a cab driven by Doiby Dickles, and told him to follow in hot pursuit. A police officer pulled them over for speeding, and Hop pretended to be violently ill and on his way to the hospital. The police officer followed them following Tank, and when he realized they were lying about Hop being sick he threw Hop and Doiby in jail. Green Lantern busted them out, telling Hop he was proud of the spy-buster, and they found Tank in a spa. Tank said he was on a health regiment under pressure from his girlfriend, and when he avoided treatment he got dragged in anyway. Hop was mortified to learn he hadn't been kidnapped, but GL just laughed.

(Green Lantern I #1) - Apex sent Alan Scott to cover the news of South American country Landovo, and since Doiby was laid up from his cabbie job with a busted arm he accompanied Alan for a vacation. They arrived in the middle of a civil war, as foreign agents had stirred up rebels who wanted the democratic government replaced with a dictatorship. Green Lantern saved a boy from crossfire, and his grateful father, a rebel spy, gave him a tip when Doiby fell into enemy hands. GL rescued him, and Doiby knocked around his captors for saying he looked like a moron. GL put down the rebel army, and convinced them they were being manipulated by the foreigners, who were using them. Doiby ended up buying a cab because he didn't understand the exchange rate of the country, and Alan had a good laugh at his expense.

(Green Lantern I #2) - At Apex a radio advertiser fainted, and Alan Scott quickly stepped in for him, earning him a spot as an Apex interviewer. Irene accompanied him, and Doiby acted as his driver for a man on the street interview, where he met lawyer Frank Benton, who couldn't get cases, and promised to help him. During a "What's Your Trouble?" show he met Mr. Stromboli, whose brother Joe inherited five million dollars form his employer Mr. Jeffers. Jeffers' crooked nephew Lester Vane rewrote the will and had Joe committed to an asylum. GL broke Joe out of the asylum, and had Benton take his case. He confronted Jeffers' lawyer, who was shot by a sniper. GL learned that a mastermind named Baldy was pulling the strings, and next had Vane shot, so his money would return to Jeffers' corporation. The newspapers blamed Joe for both murders, and Baldy flushed Joe out by kidnapping Stromboli's daughter Maria. Doiby followed Joe, but was knocked out by Baldy's goons. GL came to the rescue, and got in a confrontation with Baldy, but the villain escaped after GL bumped his head on a wooden door. GL learned from Baldy's goons that they'd been bumping off people who took out loans with Jeffers, repossessing their houses and property after death. GL convinced Frank Benton to open a law clinic with his friends to help the survivors get justice against Jeffers. GL and Doiby stopped Baldy's goons from threatening the clinic's clients, and later a direct assault against the clinic. GL suspected Mr. Delber of being Baldy, but learned that he'd been acting suspicious because he'd stolen money from Jeffers, not because he was the mastermind. Benton got close to Baldy by pretending to betray the clinic, but when GL tried to apprehend him Baldy stopped him with tear gas and fled. Jeffers VP Arnold Corbin was the villain, and tried to pin the blame on president Paul Blane, but was apprehended by GL. The cases against the Jeffers Loan Company went to trial and Uncle Joe became the new owner of the business, and promised to make amends for the company's misdeeds. At a victory dinner Stromboli tried to show Doiby how to eat spaghetti, but he failed spectacularly.

(Green Lantern I #3) - Apex's chief wanted Alan Scott to head to Australia to supervise the construction of a new radio station, and said it would be dangerous because the Axis as well as the Allies had interest in the country. Irene would accompany him, and when the chief protested about the danger, she said she wanted to help her country. Doiby was broken-hearted that he wasn't invited on the adventure, so when their ship left from Canada he snuck aboard. Alan assured security he was a moron, but a harmless one, and Doiby offended the other passengers by eating like a pig. A U-Boat spotted the ship and torpedoed it, sending Nazi planes to finish the job. Alan changed into Green Lantern and downed a number of aircraft by sending their bombs back at them, and when casualties mounted they flew off. GL used his ring to calm the passengers, and with Irene and Doiby helped them into lifeboats. Alan and company boarded the lifeboat of the Sprigs, a socialite family, but the oars snapped, and they drifted helplessly until they got stuck in the Sargasso Sea, littered with centuries of trapped seafaring vessels. The Sargasso was inhabited by the descendants of the original seafarers, and despite their different history and culture they formed a utopia. Alan and his friends quickly became an asset to the community, but the Sprigs refused to work. Mr. Sprigs and his son attacked their benefactors, stole some gold, and rowed off. GL prevented the Sargasso people from rioting, and saved the Sprigs from a kraken, making them realize how wrong-headed they'd been. The damaged U-Boat floated into the Sargasso, and while GL and Doiby beat them senseless, they had to capitulate when the Nazis trained a submachine gun on the others. The Nazis built an autogyro to alert Hitler to the discovery of the Sargasso Sea, which they planned to make into a Nazi outpost. GL pretended to be on the Nazi's side until a fleet arrived from Germany, and he burned the top of the seaweed barring their way, but they were trapped by the vegetation underneath the water. Doiby and Irene had rallied the peaceful residents, and they shot oil at the Nazi ships, followed by flaming arrows. The Nazis were vanquished, and Alan and company flew back home in one of their planes, after thanking the patriarch of the Sargasso for proving that a peaceful society could exist on Earth.

(Green Lantern I #4) - On December 7, 1941 Irene and Alan talked about the inevitability of the U.S. entering WWII, and when Irene asked Alan why he wasn't enlisted he said the army marked his job as radio engineer essential service. Irene, Alan and Doiby covered a boat wreck in the Atlantic, flying to the scene in an autogyro, and found a ship destroyed by a U-Boat. They got fogbound, and were taken in by an approaching boat. It turned out to be a Nazi ship, commanded by Captain Kortz, who was part of a coordinated attack on the U.S. east coast. Alan changed to GL, and Doiby showed off his imitation Green Lantern outfit. They decked Kortz, who was trying to force himself on Irene, and GL downed the bomber planes that took off from the carrier before sinking the ship. GL took the letter Kortz' had as an introduction to America's fifth columnists and their commander Dr. Zapt, and infiltrated the Nazi organization. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and the U.S. officially entered WWII. On December 11 Doiby tried the same trick as Alan to infiltrate the Fifth Columnists, but both the heroes were undone when Kortz showed up and labeled them spies. Alan changed to GL, but was knocked out by a wooden chair. The Nazis tried to kill former anti-war man of industry Townsend Clay, who was being interviewed by Irene Miller. GL escaped his captivity, and foiled the Nazis, a number of whom died in an explosion caused by Kortz. Doiby had carelessly bragged about GL being immune to everything except wood, and thought Kortz and Zapt were on the run they had a new advantage. Doiby tried to enlist, and when they told him he was too old and out of shape he started a brawl in the recruitment office. GL halted him, and he was accepted into the army because General Brooks recognized him, having served under him in WWI. Alan Scott also enlisted, and before long they were at training camp together. Zapt and Kortz posed as hash house cooks and tried to poison Doiby, but GL saved his life. Lieutenant Sowers tried to cut in on Irene, and Doiby told Alan he'd look in on them. Irene was eager for some spy-smashing, and told Sowers she'd picked up a radio transmission that indicated some Nazis were hiding in a nearby car yard, but they were captured by Kortz. GL came to the rescue, having to deal with a green shield the Nazis invented to deflect his power beams, but Kortz escaped with Irene, taking her on a plane to Germany, where they planned to force her to act as a radio broadcaster. GL rescued her, Kortz perished, and Irene gave him a passionate kiss.

(Green Lantern I #5) - Alan, Doiby and Irene were at a military dance, and they welcomed Princess Valla, ally of the U.S. and leader of a refuge government. Vallas was captured by saboteurs, and when Alan went into action as Green Lantern they caught him in a net, and put both prisoners in a gas chamber. They escaped, and GL foiled the saboteurs effort to blow up the military base. Their leader bragged that Prince Karl was being abducted from the Hotel Coronado as they spoke, so GL flew to the rescue. After the couple reunited Alan was ordered to report to a trailer in the woods. General Brock was secretly building a team he thought could do damage in enemy territory, and invited Alan to join Doiby, Yank Jones, Red Stuart and Hohay. They were shot at by Nazi's who'd learned of Brock's plan, but Alan slipped away and as GL made short work of them. A message written in invisible ink was found on one of the Nazis, and Doiby couldn't figure out how to make the ink appear despite his best efforts. GL suggested they free one of the Nazis and follow him, and the plan worked like a charm, as the prisoner led them to Cabin Castle and his vial of invisible ink reader. According to the message Nazis planned to stir up Muslim tribes in North Africa, and turn them against th Allies. Brock sent his men to stop the plot, but their plane was shot down by hostile tribes who fell under the sway of Nazi agent Black Prophet. Alan Scott was knocked out in the landing, and the others were taken to prison, except Hohay, who pretended to be on the side of their captors until he got a chance to rescue his comrades. The Black Prophet tried to demonstrate his power using a Nazi goon pretending to be a djinn, but GL ruined his act, and when the tribes showed amazement at his powers, he challenged the Prophet to trial by combat. GL defeated the Prophet and unmasked him as Kortz', who'd survived their last encounter. The tribes fully committed to GL's side when he showed them maps sent to Kortz by Hitler, maps that showed he wanted the Middle East to be a slave colony. The tribes chased of Kortz, who escaped in a nearby plane, and recognized GL's army buddies as the Legion of the Lantern. They were given a new plane, and shot down Kortz in a dogfight, as well as aided an Allied battle against Axis ships before returning to America. Kortz escaped custody again and rallied his Fifth Columnist allies, but GL took out the Nazis while Doiby boxed Kortz' ears single-handedly. Doiby was promoted to Master Sergeant, and the other members of the Legion got promotions as well, except for Alan, because he'd been "missing" for most of the action.

(Green Lantern I #6) - Sgt. Dickles was assigned to learn about the South American country of Exilia, which contained valuable minerals that could help the war effort. He asked to be partnered with Alan Scott, and they sought the explorer Wickwar, who knew the way to the near-legendary country. They arrived at his house, but the butler had been bribed in giving a trio access to Wickwar, and they abducted him. GL found him at the hunting lodge of Pelk, who ran a synthetic company, and didn't want to lose profits to Exilia. He was being assisted by Nordo and Shiloh, who were spies from Exilia playing Pelk so their country would remain unknown. GL and Doiby made short work of Pelk, and the spies fled. Pelk had hit Wickwar so hard that he was dying, but with his last breathe he told GL how to get to Exilia. They flew to SA, with the spies following them, and Exilia's guards downed their plane. Exilia 's citizens wqere all exiles from various time periods and places around the world, and Doiby made a splash when he beat up the guard Captain Markas. He was treated to a feast until Markas and his friends came looking for revenge, and after being taken to the king he was accused of being a spy along with GL, and tossed into an arena to battle wild animals. GL was investigating the aluminum streets, cars and other wealth of Exilia when he attacked a German imperialist and took his uniform. In disguise he met Nordo, who told him he intended to pull a coup against the king, offer Exilia's wealth to Hitler, and then conquer Germany for his own. GL saved Doiby from the arena, and after a confrontation with the king learned that he was a dummy fronting for Exilia's real ruler Shiloh. Her grandfather was an Exile from the Civil War, and she was taught to hate the U.S. for defeating the South. GL told her that his grandfathers had fought for different sides of the Civil War, and used his ring to clear the hate from her mind. She agreed to have Exilia make itself known to the outside world, and GL said the U.S. would welcome them and their resources. With Shiloh's ruse exposed Nordo proclaimed himself Exilia's new ruler, and whipped his supporters into a frenzy against Shiloh and GL. Shiloh gathered her supporters, and they won against Nordo. Shiloh pledged her loyaklty to the U.S. and said she wanted Doiby to be her king, but he wasn't ready to settle down.

(Green Lantern I #7) - Alan Scott and Doiby got a ten day furlough, and went to NYC, staying at a Broadway hotel. They saw a man materialize in Time Square and get hit by a car. Green Lantern flew the man to a hospital, and after recovering he started making a killing in gambling on sporting events and the stock market, which GL found suspicious. GL learned that the lucky man Raakj, had been kidnapped by gambler Nutsy Hagan, and rescued him. Raakj wasn't grateful, and knocked out GL, tying him up alongside Hagan and his men. Raakj was from the 31st Century, and intended to use his knowledge of the past to make his fortune. He didn't want any interference, so he turned on a gas stove, leaving GL and the crooks to a poisonous death. GL freed himself, and told Hagan not to seek revenge because he'd bring Raakj to justice. Alan Scott was honorably discharged from the army, being seen as too important a radio engineer to be on the front, and he was appointed a troubleshooter with civilian radio. Doiby thought his pal wouldn't make itt without him watching over Alan, so he feigned fainting and was discharged for medical reasons. Nutsy and his gang tracked Raakj to Long Island, where he'd constructed a rocket ship. He gassed the men, and when GL and Doiby boarded he flew them all to the moon. Now that he had fortune he wanted fame, which he would achieve by bringing radium from the moon to the future. On thew moon they were caught in the middle of a war between the Moon's native Selenites and the warlike Core-People, who were slavers. The Core-People abducted Selenite prince U-Ted and Doiby, but when GL went to save them his power ring's 24 hour power supply was up. The Core-Men's king Gorral put him in a gladiatorial arena, but using his wits he escaped, grabbing Gorral's sword and threatening him until the captives were safe and they were on their way back to the Selenites. Gorral, commanding the giant robot Angrak, attacked the Selenites, but GL battled him in Angrak's control center located in his head, and Gorral fell to his death. GL ordered the robot to destroy itself, and opened peace talks between the Core-People and the Selenites. Peace won out, and GL advised them to use the radium from their core to provide power to their cities, since the moon's molten core was burning out, which would spell their doom. The Selenites rewarded him with the Moon-Stone which could control the minds of men, and told him to use it to fight crime. On the trip home Raakj and Nutsy both stole the Moon-Stone, and Nutsy died when he shot GL and the bullets ricocheted and hit him. Raakj took the Moon-Stone to the future, and fearing he'd conquer his world GL pleaded with the lantern to send him to the year 3042. In the future they met Doiby's descendant Homberg Dickles, and Doiby argued with him over his choice of headgear. Raakj was causing terror with the Moon-Stone, but while fighting GL his fiancée Dorna tried to stop him and nearly fell to her death. GL saved her and he realized the error of his ways, handing over the Moon-Stone.

(Green Lantern I #8) - GL apprehended Trigger Killian, who was in a shootout with police. He'd stolen $300K worth of jewels, but refused to reveal their location, and soon broke out of jail. GL and Doiby visited Mrs. Killian, who'd been too afraid to divorce her husband because he'd threatened to kill her. Trigger's old pal Heist Nolan and his gang thought she might know where the jewels were, and GL and Doiby fought them off, but they made a getaway after threatening Killian's children. Killian paid a visit to his wife, and died in a gunfight with Heist. GL realized the Trigger had diamond's in his daughter's rag doll.

(Green Lantern I #8) - GL and Doiby came across mobsters putting a man on the tracks of an oncoming train, and the criminals knocked out the heroes and put them on the tracks as well. GL awoke just as the switch tack he was on diverted the train. The man, named Forbes, explained that he'd borrowed money from loan sharks for operations for his sick son. His boss banker Mr. Thornton fired him when the sharks came to collect, and he planned on committing suicide before Thornton stopped him. Thornton said a criminal named the Top was blackmailing him, and told Forbes he'd pay him $40,000to kill Top. Thornton gave him a $20,000 advance, but it was a set-up, Thornton was robbing from the bank, but with Forbes fingerprints on the money the crime would be blamed on him. Forbes found out, which is how he wound up on the railroad tracks. The frame was in, and GL saved Forbes from being arrested, and then visited his loan sharks. Thornton was really the Top, and he gunned down the crooks to keep them from talking. Alan Scott got Thornton to speak on his I, The People radio program, and when Forbes confronted him with a gun he confessed over the public airwaves.

(Green Lantern I #8) - GL and Doiby nabbed Waxey Wells, who ran a numbers racket, and Doiby was pleased to see the coverage they got in the papers. Youths Teddy and Knuckles asked Doiby if he'd teach them crime-fighting skills, and he showed them the detective moths GL had taught him. Waxy was released after his gang killed the prime witness against him, and he framed GL for bribery, taking a signature GL had signed for a charity drive, and using it on an incriminating letter saying that GL was on Waxey's payroll. Doiby and his boy detectives got a confession from Waxey's man Gimpy, and cleared GL's name.

(Green Lantern I #9) - GL was pursuing the Whistler and his gang the Dogs, but they knocked him out and tossed him off a building. He saved himself by making a cushion of air with his ring, but was angry at himself for his failure. Doiby told him he'd inherited the Pachyderm Polytechnic, a school for troubled boys, from his late uncle Pachyderm. The Whistler was hiding out in a cave beneath the school, and GL saw that the youngsters idolized him, so he thought he'd teach them a lesson. Doiby, as teacher, took the boys to the Aniline Dye Works, where the Whistler was planning a heist. GL made quick work of the Dogs, and Whistler took the boys hostage and fled. Whistler gathered his valuables from the cave, planning to leave town and let his gang rot. The tough youngsters thought he was a fink, and beat him up. The Green Lantern arrived, and the kids were now turned-around, realizing the futility of crime, and admiring him.

(Green Lantern I #9) - GL and Doiby stopped the Venus O'Mylo mob from robbing a perfume factory, but when Doiby got a look at Venus' unmasked face he fell head over heels in love with her. Against his better instincts he followed her summons to return to her hideout. Her rob targeted the Morgan Library for valuable art, and she told Doiby to take out GL when he arrived. Doiby picked up a wooden boomerang, but couldn't bring himself to use it on his pal, so he tossed it out a window. Unfortunately it came back and knocked out GL. Venus and her gang made their getaway, and she again insisted that Doiby follow her. She plied Doiby with champagne, and he was about to spill GL's weakness as wood when GL busted in. GL defeated the mob and revealed that Venus was a senior citizen who used a mask and darkened rooms to feign beauty.

(Green Lantern I #9) - Lawyer Tree, Bouncer Tree and Prof. Tree were three men too timid to go after their dreams, but teamed up to steal symbols that would inspire courage. GL was at a lecture when they stole the Magna Charta for Lawyer Tree, and when he pursued them to the Sportsman's Club where Bouncer lifted the world wrestling belt he attacked them with Doiby. The police thought it was an unprovoked attack and arrested the heroes, but Bouncer couldn't resist running up on them and socking GL, so the police freed him. Prof. Tree stole a sapphire chess piece, and GL and Doiby captured the crooks. He told them real nerve came from perseverance, not stealing, and their "lucky charms" were all imitations anyway.

(Green Lantern I #10) - Doiby drove a mysterious man to a Park Avenue club, and was attacked by goons soon afterward. He asked for GL to investigate, and returning to the club the stranger said his name was Vandal Savage, and messing with Doiby was just a joke to get Green Lantern's attention. He knew GL knew Alan Scott, and asked for a meeting. In his civilian identity Alan met with Vandal, who wished to purchase his safe deposit box at the Wheat Exchange Bank, saying he was superstitious, and that he thought it would bring him luck. Alan turned him down, and Savage smiled to his face, but sent goons to break into the bank, stealing 100 shares of Consolidated Steel Savage needed to become chairman of the company. GL and Doiby investigated Consolidated, and Vandal knocked them out, using GL's weakness of wood, and put them in chairs in which GL couldn't move without electrocuting Doiby. Vandal knew all about GL, including his secret identity, and decided to tell them his story. He was an immortal Cro-Magnon, and loved power, so he wanted America to lose WWII, knowing he could manipulate the country far more efficiently if it was a dictatorship. Vandal bid them adieu, revealed that the chairs they were in were just a projection, and warned them that he'd reveal GL's identity if they interfered in his plans. Savage was appointed the US war labor chief, and the heroes followed him to Washington while Savage sent more gunmen against them. GL exposed Vandal as a fraud, he was using Doiby's birth certificate since he didn't have one, and fearing life imprisonment for defrauding the US government he fled to his cavernous hideout in Kentucky with the heroes in pursuit. He trained a gun on them, and said he was almost sorry to see them go because they'd relieved the boredom of immortality for him. GL used his power ring to disintegrate the floor beneath Savage, and he plummeted into its cavernous depths.

(Green Lantern I #10) - Quean and the executives of Apex were worried that Alan Scott would ask for more money after his contract was over. They decided to find a new broadcaster they could manipulate and make him Scott's competition. They chose Doiby, brought him a brand new suit, and praised his horrible diction. GL wanted to track down a black market radio ring, but Doiby was feeling full of himself and said his crimefighting days were over now that he was being set up as a star broadcaster. Doiby listened in on one of Quean's meetings and learned that he was a pawn, and he was ashamed that he'd deserted his buddy. He helped GL break up the radio ring, and the leader turned out to be Quean.

(Green Lantern I #11) - A rep from Inca Insurance gave Doiby a free policy to promote her company, but Doiby filled it out for $1,000,000 instead of the $1,000 offered him. Inca told their rep to get the policy back, and Vulcan Insurance learned of it, intending to bump off Doiby to bankrupt Inca. Vulcan sent thugs after Doiby, so he sought Green Lantern's help. The thugs knocked out GL and fled while Doiby was distracted by the Inca rep flirting with him, and he was ashamed of his dereliction of duty. GL caught up with the crooks and captured them, but Doiby's pals from the beanery Maw Mousee, Fairbanks Fearless and Prof. Sorin tried to kill him. He decided the insurance was too much fuss, so he tore up the policy.

(Green Lantern I #11) - GL saw Doiby tackle a man who threw out a newspaper, and Doiby berated him about how important recycling was for the war effort. The man revealed himself as a bank owner whose waste can tied up loose paper in a bundle, making it ready to send back to the US government, and Doiby was embarrassed by his impetuousness.

(Green Lantern I #11) - Doiby was on vacation, and GL sent him a letter describing his latest case. Failed poet Iambic Scan decided to kill himself because his work was unappreciated, so he broadcast news of a robbery committed by Killer Klondike, told the police to shoot on sight, and gave a description of himself as Killer. GL stopped policemen from shooting him, but a mob spotted Iambic, and decided he must be a criminal mastermind, so they made him head of their gang. The gang locked GL in a fridge, and Iambic knew he was no killer, and tried to free him, but GL escaped by superheating the air inside, causing an explosion that blew out the door. GL rounded up the mob, and Iambic fell for Gunner Goity, an actress who was only pretending to be a mobster for acting experience. Alan Scott got the happy couple a job as talent at Apex. Doiby finished the letter and figured he'd better go back to work, because GL wasn't safe without him.

(Green Lantern I #12) - Doiby asked Green Lantern to fix up a bunch of heaps from the junk yard with his power ring so he could start his own taxi fleet. GL said he never used the ring for personal gain, but when Doiby told him the proceeds would go for war bonds he agreed. Doiby set up his office as owner of Dickles Ink and hired a secretary. His eager new employees were actually criminals playing him. They parked in front of a bank, robbed it, fended off Green Lantern, and changed back into their taxi driver uniforms, driving the police that responded on a wild goose chase. GL told Doiby about the robbery, and asked why he wasn't there to help, but the success had gone to Doiby's head, and he called GL a roughneck and told him to scram. GL tumbled on to the crooks scheme, and Doiby reluctantly investigated with him, defeating the gang, but wrecking the cars in the process. Dickles Ink was out of business, but a man from the ink business was interested in the ink he used for signatures, saying he'd pay $10,000 for it. Doiby was thrilled, but forgot what fancy combination he used for his unique signature.

(Green Lantern I #12) - Doiby was approached by Amanda and Zenobia, founders of the Uplift Society. Their mission was to teach the world better manners, and they invited Doiby to their school because he'd make an interesting challenge, he had the worst manners they ever saw. They took a field trip for high tea at the Van Swell mansion with Doiby and his fellow students Knuckles, Butch, and Chisel. Doiby tripped at tea, making a mess, and the Van Swells noticed their silver missing and blamed Doiby. He promised Amanda and Zenobia he was innocent, so they helped him fend off the house detectives, and told him to return to the school with his parents. Doiby didn't have folks, so he brought GL, who recognized his fellow students as hardened crooks. Amanda and Zenobia dismissed their students for framing Doiby, and congratulated GL on his fine manners. GL and Doiby pursued the crooks to Grand Central Station, and during a firefight the crooks hit a case of gasoline, setting the station ablaze. GL ionized overhead clouds and used a heavy rain to put out the fire. The thugs turned out not to be the real culprits, and GL busted Amanda and Zenobia, who turned out to be cross-dressing crooks who'd set the whole thing up.

(Green Lantern I #12) - GL and Doiby saw a wanted poster for the notorious criminal Gambler, who'd come to Gotham City. Gambler and his gang targeted the stock exchange. One of his men dressed up as a clerk and put disastrous new stock prices up on the blackboard. In the confusion Gambler and his men made off with large bills and bonds. Green Lantern tried to stop them, but Gambler blinded him with a gun that shot ammonia gas. The Gambler robbed a quiz show, and when GL arrived he turned his gun on the audience, but said he'd leave if GL bet with him. He spun a top with win and lose printed on it, but Dickles stumbled into the studio, and knocked Gambler back when he opened the door. Gambler shot a smokescreen, and escaped, but bet that GL couldn't stop him from robbing the track. Gambler set off magnesium flares panicking the horses and endangering the spectators, but GL used his power ring to harness the horses and had them stampede Gambler's gang. GL turned his power ring on the Gambler, incapacitating him until the police arrived, and the hero wondered if that was the last they'd hear of the villain.

(Green Lantern I #13) - Newspaper and radio ads begged Green Lantern to come to the Gotham Explorer's Club. GL and Doiby arrived surrounded by dozens of dressed-up imposters. The explorers dressed up as wild animals and Neanderthals, attacking the group, and recognized the real GL when he fended them off while the imposters fled. They told him the great explorer Simon Ghent had discovered druids still living in Sussex, and after touching the Druid Stone he gained the King's Touch, the ability to heal the sick and raise the dead. He returned to America to make good use of his gift and was kidnapped by a crime syndicate who planned to charge for his miraculous abilities. GL agreed to help, and followed the explorers to the graveyard where they said Ghent was holed up. After stopping gunfire from within, crossing a moat, and busting in the chapel the "explorers" knocked out Doiby and GL. The story about Ghent was a fabrication, and the chapel was the hiding place of May Leeds, lead witness against the Krupp Syndicate. GL knew something fishy was up, and after the criminals left them tied up next to TNT he removed their bonds and told them he'd deactivated the TNT before they arrived at the graveyard. GL followed the syndicate back to their hideout and took them out with his power ring. He recovered their records detailing their crimes, and told Doiby he knew the whole thing was a set-up because Alan Scott was the president of the Gotham Explorer's Club.

(Green Lantern I #13) - Alan Scott fell head over heals for Dinah Mite, the sound-effects girl for WMCG's Thug-Busters show. He asked her to marry him, but she was also being courted by Doiby and late-night DJ Mite Handy Mann. Police entered the station, investigating because WMCG's broadcasts were on the same frequency as the reports made by the Lord Haw-Haw of Crime. Haw-Haw spoke under the music being played to organize crimes and give criminal news. Criminals were after Doiby, and ended up subduing him as well as Dinah and GL. They said Doiby had knowledge that was bad for his health, tied them up, and leaked gas into a small room in the radio station. GL knocked out the gas meter with his foot, and freed his friends. They went after the crooks, and Dinah distracted the criminals by making tommy-gun sound effects. GL figured out the knowledge Doiby had was that Mann was in his Glee singing club even though he claimed to have had a sarcoma operation. He thought Doiby would recognize something was off, but he did not. Mann made up the sarcoma story so he could wear a scarf concealing a throat-microphone that he used as Lord Haw-Haw. After Mann was arrested she said she was in love with GL. Lantern asked her if she didn't think Alan was a better fit for her, but she said he was cute and helpless without her.

(Green Lantern I #13) - GL and Doiby were getting spring fever, and planning on a vacation to the country, but their plans were derailed when beautiful but ditzy socialite Angela Van Enters begged them to stick around and help her earn $1,000 for her charity. She started asking shady looking types if they had a reward on their head, and the jewlery she was wearing attracted the attention of crooks. Doiby was little help because he'd been overcome with a love of nature and poetry now that Spring had sprung. Enters tried to help GL against the goons, but knocked him out with a wooden object d'art. Her jewels were gone, and she blamed GL. He begged the police to give him one hour to clear his name, and promised to give reward money from the crooks he was after to the police fund. He caught up with the crooks as they tried to kidnap Enters, and they did indeed have the jewels on them. GL dreaded spending any more time with Enters, but Doiby had raised the $1,000 with the prize for a Mother's Day poem.

GL flew to the Sterling Employment Agency to get Walter a job so they'd shut up, but the terrified Sterling claimed he went out of business, even though GL just saw him assign a cook position to a man named Gloin. The Lisper and his gang broke into Sterling's office, and Gloin shot Sterling. The gang escaped except for Gloin, and GL gave Doiby his work papers to find out what was up. Doiby posed as a French cook, showing off his terrible accent, and Lisper and his men came to see him, laying out their plan of having forced Sterling to get his goons jobs in different wealthy manors so they could rob the rich blind. Doiby turned around, and when they realized he wasn't Gloin they attacked. GL saved him, but Doiby's pot overheated and exploded, knocking out the heroes. Lisper threw them down a manhole, which led to telephone conduits. GL recovered and used his power ring on the conduits to find out where Lisper's gang was striking, and to broadcast a warning to the police and employees. They tracked Lisper to a sculptress' studio, and GL animated the statues to round up Lisper and the rest of his men. Doiby told GL he'd give Walter a job at his garage, but when they met the couple they turned out to be dwarves, and Walter said he only worked vaudeville.

(Green Lantern I #14) - Alan Scott visited the doctor with intense stomach pain, and the doctor said it was all in his head. He told Alan to smile when he felt pain, and it would ease up. Alan, who was not used to smiling, showed off his look to the doctor who remarked that he looked sinister, as if he knew every secret of whoever he was smiling at. On the way home Alan tried smiling, and was attacked by criminals who thought he'd overheard their heist plans. He blew off some steam knocking them around, but when her went home to change to GL and arrest them they were gone. He went off in pursuit with bloodhounds, and everyone that crossed his path confessed something, from playing hooky to murdering their husband, and GL had to pause to alert the police. He caught up with the crooks at an art gallery, but they knocked him out with a wooden chair, put him in a concrete sack, and tossed him in the river. Doiby was fishing, and managed to save GL, saying he was sorry he missed most of the case, but he was out shopping for GL's birthday gift. They rounded up the crooks, and Doiby presented GL with some caviar, which he saw the hero was fond of lately. GL realized that was why he was having stomach aches, and broke into a legitimate smile.

(Green Lantern I #14) - GL and Doiby were on vacation in West Mesa when they discovered a cave containing skeletons and a feral boy who they named Cave Kid. They brought him back to Gotham, and Alan made a broadcast in an appeal to find Cave Kid's family. Crooks pulled guns on them, and Cave Boy helped run them off, proving to be a savage fighter. They got Cave Kid proper clothes and tried to wrangle him as he attacked a street car, stole food, and drank paint. A woman claimed to be his mother, wealthy Mrs. Howard Hawkins III, and GL let her take him, but he knew she wasn't on the up-and-up because she mentioned the kidnap attempt that just happened. It turned out that she was the boy's childhood nurse, and left him in the cave after killing his parents, posing as Hawkins to enjoy her wealthy lifestyle. She'd employed the thugs to rub out Cave Boy, and when her plan was revealed GL busted her. He told Cave Boy to enjoy his new inheritance, but they were both sad in parting. Doiby sniffled, and GL said they were not the ones to raise a boy.

(Green Lantern I #15) - Doiby took a fare from Albert Zero, who was convinced he could make things real just by thinking them, and demonstrated by turning the cab into a haywagon. Doiby told himself he was just seeing things, and dropped off Zero. That night Zero worried about thoughts of destruction, causing buildings to crumble, bridges to tear apart, and a volcano to spring up in the city. GL responded, fixing structures as fast as he could, and stopping Looters. Doiby told him about Zero, whose nightmare were now creating dragons and other mythic creatures. They went to Zero's apartment and woke him up, telling him he was destroying the city. He worried about what would happen if the world knew of his powers, and then it was so. Thugs came to kidnap him for their racket, and the military came to kill him, so he wished everyone was thousands of miles away from him. GL and Doiby ended up in the North Pole, and flew back to Gotham, convincing Zero to undue the damage he did. GL researched neurology, but couldn't figure out what had happened to Zero. Zero started counting to distract himself from thinking, and when he came across the girl who told the racketeers about him he begged her to help him, creating wealth to entice her, but she ran away. When the army attacked him again he soured on humanity for trying to kill him instead of helping him, so he turned to the criminals he met earlier and said they could rule the world together. Zero brought the wealth of the city to them, and when GL showed up they were at a stalemate, because GL's willpower was strong enough to protect him from Zero's power with a forcefield of flame. The thugs shot, and ended up shooting the woman Zero was so fond of. GL rounded up the thugs, and Zero said he didn't care if GL had to kill him to stop him, because he had nothing. GL used the power ring to hive him great knowledge. Consciously utilizing his power he raised the girl from the dead, and she said she loved him. With her at his side he would train and prepare his mind until he could use his power again and make the world a utopia.

Congo sent his thugs to abduct Doiby, but he and Green Lantern fought them off, and when Doiby saw Dude he confessed to what he did. Doiby ran after Dude into the night, and GL returned home. Thugs were waiting for him in his darkened apartment on the orders on Congo, and he allowed himself to be rolled up in a sheet and kidnapped to learn Congo's game. The thugs revealed they were after Alan Scott, so GL quickly stripped out of his clothes under the sheet so his secret identity would not be compromised. Congo tossed him in a cell, and announced to his clients that his voodoo had destroyed Alan and Doiby. "Dude" turned out to be Doiby in disguise, and he and GL, who'd freed himself, made short work of Congo and his men. The man that wanted a curse on Alan was Grebbs, a rival radio personality.

(Green Lantern I #16) - GL and Doiby attended the circus, and during a lunar eclipse Harry Danvers the Human Cyclops went mad from people gawking at him and attacked the audience with a sword. GL grabbed him, but at that moment the gravitational balance between Earth and the moon shifted due to the eclipse, and attracted his power ring, sending the trio to the moon. GL said his ring was too unstable to use, but hoped they'd be drawn back to Earth when the eclipse ended. Monstrous Moon-Men mistook them for Selenites, captured GL and Doiby, and prepared to sacrifice them. Alien Gwynda thought Doiby was to handsome to die and freed him, and he saved GL. They ran through underground tunnels until they came to a dead end. That section of the tunnel led to the Selenites base and the Moon-Men were frightened off. The Selenites explained that the Moon-Men were savages that they kept locked away for their own safety. These Selenites were cyclops like Harry, and he decided to stay with them because on the moon he wasn't a freak. The eclipse ended, and GL and Doiby returned to Earth.

(Green Lantern I #16) - Doiby was a volunteer firefighter, and went into action when a factory caught fire. The culprit was the Lizard, whose flaming salamanders fires couldn't be put out with firehoses. Doiby sent up an emergency rocket to alert GL, and GL used his ring to lift an enormous amount of water from a nearby river to smother the flame. The factory owner said Lizard had blackmailed him, but he hadn't taken him seriously. A shipyard owner had gotten a threat from the Lizard, and ran to pay him with Doiby and GL following close behind. They fought the Lizard and his gang, but they escaped when Lizard tossed his flaming salamanders at them. Soon after the Lizard made good his promise to burn the shipyard, and when GL and Doiby followed him into a darkened tropical fish store he used a movie projector to distract them, and knocked them out. He tied them up, and left them with his flaming pets, but GL smashed the glass containing the animals and used the glass to free himself and Doiby. They arrived at the Lyceum Theatre that Lizard was threatening to immolate.

Kaveu used a smokebomb to escape their company, but Doiby tracked him to an old wharf where he was speaking to mobsters he used to work with. The Malie had revealed that the valuable Jewel of Hope, a priceless item, was held in the Modern Museum vault. They noticed Doiby, but after some fisticuffs he got away and told GL the scoop. Kaveu and his men made off with the jewel, a magic item that changed into whatever the viewer hoped it would be. Kaveu fled when GL and Doiby found his hideout, and GL hoped for a compass to lead them to the criminal.

The jewel was lost in the fight, but found by a young boy who always wanted a police badge.

He showed him an explosive doll of his own design, and told him he'd shipped one to a Gotham child. GL had no time to waste, and broke into homes across Gotham, stealing dolls, causing the police to brand him a madman and criminal. Doiby demanded an explanation, and when GL told him the story he was eager to help, posing as Santa Claus exchanging new dolls for old. He stumbled upon Triangle's residence, and followed him to a robbery. He alerted GL, but Doiby tripped and they knocked each other out, allowing Triangle and his men to escape. The police arrested GL, and he fabricated a story about being a treasure-seeker who wanted a $100,000 reward for the Rajah of Radjpur's lost job. Doiby sobbed at his friend ruining his reputation, but GL said the true story would cause a panic, but his lie led every family in the city to turn over their dolls. GL broke out and went to the city center, where the dolls were collected. He was interrupted by Triangle, who'd spilled that he'd lied about the explosive doll, and was handily captured. He'd made the mistake of showing up because his daughter brought her dolly, which he used to hide his loot, to the center hoping for a reward.

(Green Lantern I #17) - GL and Doiby saw a sign advertising a club named Saturn, and were intrigued enough to enter. They were confronted by devilish figures claiming to be Saturnians who attacked them. The head of the club rebuked them after they trounced the Saturnians, saying Saturn was an elite club, and they weren't welcome. They interviewed the guests after they left the club, and Mrs. Van Vamp told them the Saturnians had abducted and marked them, forcing them to come to the club and extorting money from them. Doiby was spooked and wanted nothing more to do with the case, but GL said they were probably costumed racketeers. They were ambushed by Saturnians, and after beating them visited Van Vamp's mansion, to find her seemingly dead, with a note proclaiming death to traitors. They were knocked out by Saturnians, and awoke chained to a slab in a hellish environment the villains claimed was Saturn. GL broke free, and revealed that "Saturn" was just a movie projection inside the club. They unmasked the Saturnians, revealing Van Vamp as their leader. They kidnapped the wealthy, tortured them with the movie projections, and kept them in the club, while they lived the wealthy lives of the kidnapees. GL chided Doiby for being gullible enough to believe in aliens.

The bull ran out of the store and wrecked Doiby's car, and he ran at the crooks with a wrench, furious with them for messing with his livelihood. they captured him and threw him in the river to "shut him up like a clam." Doiby's wrecked car activated a SOS for Green Lantern, and he rescued his sidekick. They went after Quirt, but failed to stop him from stealing brandy stored in the subway system, bond plates, and a book on gem-cutting. GL figured out that he was after "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue" so they foiled him in a sapphire heist. Quirt bemoaned ever trying to find culture, and Doiby tried to make him eat his book of aphorisms.

(Green Lantern I #18) - Alan hade a meeting with Peter Pike, and was nervous because he owned half of everything in Gotham. Pike turned out to be an incompetent worm whose late father's business was run by Mr. Bladd. Alan was instructed to build a ship-to-shore radio station in the Florida Keys, and he took Doiby with him on the job. A pirate ship attacked their taxi in Florida, and GL soon learned that Pike liked to play pretend, dressing up as a pirate and looting ships he already owned. Bladd and his underlings decided to off him and keep all the money for themselves, but they needed to kill Pike and get rid of Scott so there'd be no witnesses. GL stopped the mutiny, and Pike accidentally knocked him out by toppling over a mast. This gave Pike renewed confidence, and he told GL he was done playing games, turning his pirate ship into an amusement center for children.

(Green Lantern I #18) - GL and Doiby met some kids wearing unlicensed GL costumes, and decided to investigate. The kids gave the address as Mr. Hurlington's mansion, where the heroes found a heist going on. They tried to stop the crooks, but their leader, Dandy, threw iron fillings at him that absorbed the energy of his power ring. Dandy had put GL on their trail because his gang wanted to quit the life of crime. He escaped scot-free, but GL later caught up with his men, who said they'd be happy to rat on him, but they didn't know Dandy's real name. They did know he used Trichinopoly snuff, and Doiby went to Exotic Imports, the only place it was sold in Gotham. He recognized Dandy as the importer, and the criminal tied him up. GL soon checked in on his friend, and Dandy kept him busy shooting at Doiby and throwing a knife at him. GL blocked his attacks with his power ring, and Dandy was excited to have a nemesis. He threw tear-gas at GL, and said they'd meet again soon. He allowed the heroes to track him to a sculpture robbery, eager for another round, and knocked out GL with a chair.

He took the train off its' rails, and GL saved the day, but the criminal was nowhere to be seen. Johnny Double approached Alan at WMCG with a crime story, saying he'd submitted many before, but Alan said they never reached the station. Before long the criminal was back looking for Double's script, and GL chased him in front of Doiby's taxi. He awoke, and his facial features changed into Doubles. GL said he was a split personality, his good side wrote stories based on his evil side's crimes, and his evil side, who didn't know they were the same person, was intercepting his scripts so he wouldn't be caught. They needed him to sleep so his criminal persona would emerge and they'd learn where he'd sent his gang to rob, and when singing didn't work, Doiby knocked him over the head with a wrench. They followed him to the robbery he planned at an astrologer's office, and found a solution to Double's problems. During the day he'd roam free, but when he needed to sleep it would be in a jail cell.

(Green Lantern I #19) - GL busted up a villain using movie projections of harpies to crash planes in the Rockies. GL felt bad that Doiby missed out on the case, so he sent him pictures of the Harpies to make up for it, and Doiby thoughtt the lady faces on the bird bodies were entrancing.

(Green Lantern I #19) - Doiby sobbed that the papers always gave GL all the credit for crimebusting, and never mentioned him. GL assured him he was priceless, and Doiby walked home, saddened because he thought priceless was another worth for worthless. He wanted to forge his own path, and got a job at Boyton's Sporting Goods, his comic pratfalls making him popular with the customers. GL investigated a string of rigged sporting events, and at a prizefight he witnessed Kid Dolan being shot for refusing to throw the fight. He located the killers, but they eluded him, leaving behind an expensive camera. He tracked the camera to Boyton's, and learned that Ben Boyton was the mastermind behind the sports fixes. He battled Ben's men in his office, but when Doiby came in to see his boss, he was shoved out, accidentally knocking his pal with a baseball bat he was carrying, who he didn't see in the confusion. Ben decided to abandon the store as a front, and told his men to leave GL alive, not wanting another murder on his rapsheet. The last job he planned was entering Doiby in the ice carnival as the hyped-up Masked Marvel, knowing he'd come in last in every event. Doiby wrote to GL to tell him he was entering the ice carnival, bragging that he was doing fine on his own. GL still didn't know why Doiby was mad at him, and missed him murdering the English language. GL helped Doiby win all his events with his power ring, and when Ben and his men wanted to know what was up GL captured them. GL cleared up the confusion with Doiby, and made sure the press knew he couldn't have busted up the Boyton gang without Doiby.

(Green Lantern I #19) - Jonah Thistle approached Doiby, saying he needed a taxi ride quick, because men were after him. Doiby's taxi broke down and Jonah said it was his fault, because he'd been a jinx from the day he was born, and chased out from anyplace he tried to live. Doiby felt for him, and had him tell his story to Alan Scott, who didn't believe in jinxes. Smiler and his gang were following Jonah around, putting out insurance policies on places his jinx was sure to wreck. The gang arrived in the radio station, and shelves of records fell over, pinning Doiby and Alan so they were helpless. Once they were free they learned that Smiler had taken out insurance on the Eternity Building. The gang made Jonah enter the building, and the pressure of one of his footfalls woke up a mole that knocked over a pebble that dislodged a boulder, shaking the building's foundations. GL used his power ring the stabilize the building, and Jonah's jinx started affecting him and Smiler's gang, allowing him to flee. Jonah bought a houseboat, hoping his jinx would stop hurting people. GL and Smiler were both on his trail, and Smiler poisoned himself with his own weapon cane. GL still refused to believe in jinxes, and invited Jonah to tell his story on Alan Scott's next broadcast. The show went well until a massive fire started in the station, and Alan had to rethink his stance on jinxes.

(Green Lantern I #20) - Alan and Doiby went to the doctor after Doiby got banged up crimefighting. The doctor told him he had months to lives after taxing x-rays, and Alan realized he was in error; the x-rays had been double exposed. The doctor revealed that the same batch of x-rays lead him to a similar prognosis on his patient Marvin Martin, and Alan went to inform him he wasn't dying. Martin wasn't home, and Alan learned that Martin used to be the infamous robber Blacky Mart, and planned on a heist so he'd leave his boy something behind when he was gone. He cracked a fur company safe, but the explosion wounded a guard, and he staid behind to save his life. GL followed him to a den of thieves, and rounded up all his old allies. Still desperate for money Martin turned himself over to the police for the $15,00 reward placed on his head after a bank job. GL convinced the police to parole him into Alan Scott's custody, and reunited the man with his son. Alan got him a job performing a radio drama about leaving behind a life of crime.

(Green Lantern I #20) - WXYZ manager Mr. Mac McGillicuddy told Alan Scott to stop doing so many jobs around the station and stick to sound engineering. On the next program he noticed a power leak, but technician Sparky Smith ignored him. That night Alan and Doiby heard a promo for rival station WTAE, and Alan's voice was the pitchman. Alan was fired, even though he assured McGillicuddy the tape was just a mix of sound bites of his voice. With money being tight Doiby took up work as a truck driver, delivering free radios to storefronts to promote Padgett's Prunes. All the stores were robbed, and GL investigated, finding that the radios all had a mic and electronic eye so all the intel on the stores and safes could be passed on to the crooks. Padgett was using WXYZ for his scheme, with Sparky as his henchman, and when Alan noticed the power leak Sparky dubbed up the tape of him to get him fired. GL took out the crooks, but ended up destroying Sparky's equipment. McGillicuddy told Alan he could have his job back if he could fix it, and he used his power ring to accomplish the task. Alan was told that he could work any capacity in the station, and ended up GM himself.

(Green Lantern I #20) - The Gambler sent GL and Doiby a letter from jail, betting that he could escape at the crack of dawn. They investigated, and Gambler had disguised himself as Doiby to cause confusion, using a skeleton key to unlock his cell and freeing prisoners to distract the heroes while he made his getaway. They found him aboard a gambling ship, where he'd broken the bank and won the ship as well. He escaped again, and outfitted the ship as a dreadnaught, running crooked gambling games with the help of his goons. GL entered the gambling den, and Gambler wagered his freedom versus GL's life on a game of roulette. GL accepted, and seeing as all the games were rigged he used the power ring to win. Gambler accused him of being a cheater, not appreciating the irony. GL used his power ring to transport the entire dreadnaught to the local prison, making it their new annex.

(Green Lantern I #21) - Alan Scott hosted the radio program Odd But True, introducing Mr. Twigg, an eccentric whose entire house and everything in it was made of wood. He said he also had a hidden treasure, and asked Scott if he'd be up for visiting him home to search for it. Alan said he was too busy, but would send his friends Green Lantern and Doiby Dickles. Twigg gave Doiby a drink of plastic wood, and Doiby came under the delusion that he was turning into a tree despite GL's attempts to shake sense into him. Trigger Moran and his gang had heard the Odd But True broadcast, and arrived to steal Twigg's treasure. GL and Doiby managed to avoid the wooden boobytraps around Twigg's home, but when they fought the gang Doiby accidentally knocked out GL with a wooden mattock, and he fell into a vat of plastic wood. The gang dug in the yard where Twigg said he treasure was, while Doiby freed GL by scraping the wood off of him. They rounded up the crooks and found that the treasure was a chest of wooden nickels. Twigg said he lied because he was young at heart and thought a treasure hunt would be fun. He wanted to turn his home into a boy's home, and GL encouraged him, telling him to stay on to manage it since he loved children so much.

(Green Lantern I #21) - Doiby drove Valentine Sweetheart to the den of crimeboss Hogface, and decided to stick around to see why such a kind-hearted man was visiting a criminal. He heard a commotion, and set off his rocket-signal to summon GL. He found the men beating Sweetheart, but was knocked out, and they left. GL arrived, and they followed Hogface to Sweetheart's place of business where he was wrecking the joint. GL rounded up the crooks, but Sweetheart said they were working for him. His wife left him because he was incapable of getting angry, and he'd hired Hogface and his men to find a way to infuriate him. Sweetheart arrived at a super market the next day to purchase it, and Hogface robbed it, figuring they weren't culpable. GL and Doiby thrashed them again, and they learned that they'd committed the robbery before Sweetheart filled out the paperwork to buy the business, so they were going to jail. GL convinced Sweetheart's wife to return home, and she immediately made Sweetheart miserable. He was angry for the first time in his life, and started throwing things at GL and Doiby.

(Green Lantern I #21) - GL and Doiby were pursuing crooks, and GL used his power ring on Doiby's taxi Goitrude to supercharge it so it could run over the criminals. Doiby found that the power ring made his car permanently fast, so he entered it in a race. He impressed fellow racer Three-Ace Grover, who called his boss Chopper Cahoon, and said he had the perfect getaway car. The crooks stole the car, and when GL responded Cahoon sprayed his eyes with belladonna, blinding him. They forced Doiby to act as their chauffeur, and when GL recovered he started blasting them with his power ring, but he still couldn't see straight and kept missing. The crooks had dynamite on them for a bank job, and tossed it, fearing the power ring would make it explode. The jittery criminals bailed near the race track, and Doiby, now free, decided to win the race. The crooks forced their way into the other racing cars and pursued him around the track, but GL captured them. In the ordeal Goitrude's engine was wrecked, ending its days as a speedster.

(Green Lantern I #22) - Doiby appeared on the WXYZ quiz show Treasure Trove, and was asked for a three-letter word for an extinct bird. A crook conked him on the head, and his ejaculation "awk" sounded like Auk, so he won the prize. The thieves stole the prize money, and fled with their leader Dapp Dan Crocker, a notorious crook from the early 1900s who'd just been released from prison and enjoyed old-fashioned ways. Doiby and GL pursued them, but they were captured when GL bumped his head on the wooden yoke of Crocker's getaway horse. The criminals tied them to a lumber yard saw mill, but they escaped. They could the gang robbing a steel works payroll bus, which Crocker saw as a modern stage coach. GL and Doiby rounded them up, and Doiby was still mad at them for stealing his prize money.

(Green Lantern I #22) - Joe Smithers approached Doiby, asking him to be his bodyguard. He had to claim his uncle's inheritance, which would otherwise go to J. Wiley Blackboddy's dog charity, but he had a nasty habit of insulting everyone he saw, and needed Doiby to keep him from putting off witnesses. Doiby brought him to Alan, and asked him if taking the bodyguard job was ethical. Alan approved, but knew Blackboddy as an underworld figure whose charity was a front. Blackboddy's men shot at Doiby and Smithers, so they fled into a zoo. GL responded, but the crooks escaped when they released the wild beasts. Smithers alienated anyone who could testify for him, except his best friend Henry Felch. Blackboddy had kidnapped Felch, and tried to kidnap Smithers, but GL foiled him. The life-and-death adventure cured Smithers of his need to insult everyone, and he claimed his inheritance. Alan Scott had him tell his story on the radio, but he wasn't completely cured because he ended his story by giving the audience a Bronx cheer.

(Green Lantern I #22) - Doiby told Green Lantern someone was stealing his goldfish, and he'd put locks on the tank. GL was skeptical until he saw a small raybeam shrink one of the goldfish to microscopic size. GL used his power ring to shrink them both down, and they entered a microscopic world located inside the tank. They were attacked by Mossboles, sentient trees immune to GL's powers. Forced to flee they found a heavily guarded city inhabited by the Mikrons. The Mikrons survived off of chemical food, but the Mossboles kept stealing it, so they'd used their shrinking ray to feast on goldfish from what they called the Giant World. They had an enlarging ray, and were going to send the Mossboles to the Giant World, believing it to be inhabited by only goldfish. GL and Doiby objected, but were tossed in prison. Mikron Quidget went to his scientist Streel, and fired up the enlarging ray, but a Mikron who didn't want the Mossboles to wreck a world with sentient beings freed GL. Once Streel saw the heroes, he refused to send the Mossboles to the Giant World, and knocked out Quidget. The Mossboles attacked, but were drawn to Doiby, who had soil from his fishtank in his pocket. The Mikrons said that was their favorite food, so GL told them to send the Mossboles to his world because he had a plan. He brought the Mossboles to a field, where they laid down roots, and became as passive as normal trees, content now that they finally had access to soil.

(Green Lantern I #23) - GL and Doiby were driving through the California mountains when they came across a movie set. Stunt man Jerry Dale was nearly killed in a landslide, but GL saved him, and Dale stormed off the set. He was suspicious of the accidents on set, but knew that if he just quit he'd be blackballed by Hollywood, so he convinced Doiby to take his place, and Doiby dreamed of being a big movie star. In one scene Doiby lept into a water tank, but oil had been added, setting it on fire, and GL had to save him. GL suspected the directory Van Baldt, but had no solid proof, and Doiby was still dedicated to stardom. After a near fatal encounter with a crocodile and a cliff dive the saboteurs revealed themselves as Gat Gatson and his gang. GL defeated them, and learned that they were trying to stop the movie production because they had gold bullion they'd stolen hidden at the bottom of a lake on set. Doiby never did become famous, and bawled to GL.

(Green Lantern I #23) - WXYZ's largest stockholder Simon Foster was cashing out, threatening to bankrupt the station. Alan talked to him, and he said he missed the olden days and had no use for modern inventions like radio. He found Nirvana, a private town where everyone was still  lived like in the late 1800s, and he'd cashed out to put up a bond to live in the town. Alan convinced him to stay in the town for a bit, and see if it was all it was cracked up to be, and told him his friend GL would escort him. GL and Doiby entered Nirvana, and since the mayor was off fishing Simon was told he could bring in his bond the next day. He found his accommodations not to his liking because he was used to elevators, heated rooms, running water, and other modern innovations. Shark and Snapper, two thugs who'd overheard Alan's earlier conversation, had tailed them to rob Simon. GL foiled them, but they escaped and Simon broke his glasses. The next day Simon found that the old style glasses available in town still left him nearly blind. The criminals went after him again, and he fled to the town hall, but the constables were all out fishing, and there was no telephone in town to contact them.

(Green Lantern I #23) - GL and Doiby were approached by Count Hobart, royalty from Royalia. He told them that the crown prince Rob was living in America under the assumed name of Doiby Dickles, having gotten a ride from GL's sidekick in the past, because Dangloss, who'd ruled when Rob was a boy didn't want to give up his crown and planned on murdering Rob. With Rob still unable to be found Hobart asked Doiby to impersonate him so Dangloss would be forced to hand over the crown. Doiby agreed, and he and GL were flown to Royalia, where Doiby enjoyed the royal treatment. A man in knight's armor tried to hit him with an ax, but the heroes chased him off. The court doubted Doiby because of his rough manners, and when he stepped on Baron Farr's toes the nobleman demanded a duel.

During the coronation the knight appeared, stole the royal jewels, and knocked out GL with the royal scepter.

When GL recovered they followed the paper trail, seeing that Flasher had stolen hardware and a large automobile. They caught up with Mike, and GL said he suspected Flasher was returning to Mike's house, and promised to explain later. They caught the Flasher mob, with GL using his power ring to shake them from their car, and Mike finishing them off with fisticuffs. GL said he'd seen Mike's case scrapbook and realized that he'd caught Flasher right before the police station was built, so he deduced that Flasher had hidden the loot from his last caper in the cornerstone of the old police station.

The gunmen, led by crook Pinetop, had followed Doiby, and snatched Wren's precious Nefertete's Necklace before driving off in Goitrude.

After their fight led to a power station Goitrude's hood slammed, knocking out Pinetop, and letting GL save the day. He found the necklace in Goitrude's gas tank, and Doiby finally agreed to sell Goitrude so she could have a better life.

Jones had walked away, leaving behind his jacket, which had a tag with instructions to bring the body to the Lion Insurance Co. The crooks had taken out a $10,000 policy on Jones, and were trying to kill him. GL and Doiby found the crooks hideout, and they'd fed Jones a sandwich with ground glass, but he was fine. Jones didn't want GL to hurt his new pals, so he knocked him out with a wooden club. When GL recovered he found Jones tied to the railroad tracks, but the train switched tracks after GL rescued him. Doiby was convinced that Jones lived a charmed life, and was not subject to being harmed, but GL thought he was being suspicious. Jones wandered off again, and the criminals tied him inside a car and set the auto dealership it was in on fire. GL rounded up the crooks, but Jones had escaped.

GL saved Elmer, and realized he was a magnet for carbon substances, so he went to Gotham University to consult their scientists, leaving Elmer in Doiby's care. The scientists told GL everything he said was beyond their ken, and Doiby allowed Brains to kidnap Elmer, although he promised GL he'd fought like a wildcat against the criminals. The crooks couldn't pry the diamonds off Elmer, so they were ready to blow him up with dynamite, but GL foiled them. He used the power ring to reverse Elmer's polarity. He was no longer a magnet, and any diamond he tried to steal leapt out of his reach.

Barry's new roulette operator was "Wrong Way" Mulloy, a man born on the wrong side of a bet when his father bet he would have a daughter, and who lost every bet he made. The games were rigged, but because Wrong Way operated them Alan always won. Barry didn't want the house losing any more money so he had Wrong Way bet alongside Alan, causing them both to lose. Wrong Way told his story to alan, saying Barry was forcing him to work for him, using threats, so Alan changed to GL and started a fight with Barry's men.

Their ship sunk after a whale rammed it, and Alan changed into GL to defeat the cetacean. The Greenland Monster appeared, swallowing the Doiby and the whalers, but GL lost the serpent in the fog. He found a nearby island, where the whalers and ships previously swallowed were being held by criminals. GL freed them all, but the whalers said they had no memory of how they ended up on the island.

The Maestro had been on Manuel's ship, and had searched for years for the voice he heard that night, never dreaming his stagehand was the singer. He rushed outside, assuming Doiby was the singer, and asked him to star in their new opera. Doiby thought he was razzing him and drove off. The Maestro was desperate, and sent his men to kidnap Doiby from his bed, but GL came to his rescue.

She drove to her hideout at an old windmill, and told her gang GL was in love with her, even if he wouldn't admit it. They told her to prove it, so she allowed them to tie her to the windmill and drive off with GL, promising them he'd come back to recue her. Her gang told GL they were ready to let her rot on the windmill, having grown sick of working for such an unpredictable criminal.

The gang's leader confronted them, telling them they had counterfeit's he'd created to give his gang confidence, but he had the genuine items.

Molly changed into Harlequin and hijacked the broadcast, making a case for the sincerity of her reform. Harlequin knocked out Doiby, drove his car onto railroad tracks, and lit the rocket that Doiby used to signal GL.

GL rounded up all of the gang save one, who Harlequin allowed to escape by tripping GL with her mandolin. He pursued Harlequin into an alleyway, where she made an illusion of a fire escape falling. GL "saved" her, and she was impressed with his selflessness, but when he used an anti-glare mirror to avoid being blinded by her spectacles she called him an untrustworthy cheat. At police headquarters GL met Col. Kelen from Washington, who revealed that Harlequin, known by codename H-9 was working for the government, and the government had helped her escape prison numerous times to keep up her underworld cover.

GL and Doiby couldn't see anyway into the building for the crooks to get in, so GL dissolved one of the walls when White Star showed up. The crooks then arrived and rushed through the hole. White Star tripped GL with his lasso, and the crooks knocked GL and Doiby out. White Star told the press he couldn't stop the criminals because he had to keep the unconscious GL safe, and GL began to suspect he was in fact a criminal. HE invited GL to the Midas Gold-Refining Plant to stop another robbery, and told the police the head of the crooks would be showing up disguised as GL. The cops bought this story, but when GL cleared up the confusion they found White Star and the gang robbing the refinery. White Star got away, but left behind his personalized lasso, allowing GL to confront him at the rodeo and capture him, exposing him as a fraud.

(Green Lantern I #35) - New criminal Gamma stole the International Kilogram which decided weights worldwide from an exhibition, and Dr. Allenby of Gotham's amateur detective Analysts Club told GL and Doiby he suspected club member Sam Pomery. Pomery had gotten into a heated dispute with other members Kent Newson and Cal Whitman about whether a perfect crime could be considered a feat of human achievement. GL visited Pomery and used his power ring as a lie detector, asking him if he was Gamma. Pomery denied it, but seemed to be taunting GL, making him suspicious. Doiby used his signal-rocket to alert GL that Doiby was robbing the mansion of P.K. Kiffany. Gamma used the heat waves of his cane to create an illusion of himself, preventing GL's power ring attacks from landing, and knocked him out with his wooden cane. GL thought he'd figured out Gamma's identity and went to the Analysts Club telling them his suspicions that Newson, Pomery and Whitman were all using the same disguise to pose as Gamma. His clues were the various skills Gamma had demonstrated and the fact that gamma was the third letter in the ancient Greek alphabet. It was an intellectual exercise, and Pomery and Whitman intended to return what they'd stolen after committing a series of perfect crimes, but Newson, in desperate need of money, had no intentions of stopping his criminal career. He knocked out Pomery, Whitman and GL with sleeping gas from his cane, tied them up, and put them in a death trap in the Analysts' trophy room, with a number of weapons loaded and attached to his prisoners with threads so that if anyone moved they'd all e shot. GL directed them to all fall over backwards at the same time, avoiding the hail of bullets, and GL captured Gamma. Newson went to prison, and Pomery and Whitman received a reprimand from the police.

(Green Lantern I #35) - The Gambler called the leaders of gangland, offering for the tune of $25,000 to spin a wheel that had obstacles to various big payday crimes and remove it. Crimelord Bowie was the first to take him up on his offer, and landed on the security system of Gotham City Bank. Gambler was true to his word, and arranged for a way to distract GL and the police so the job could be finished successfully. He sent a note to GL saying he bet every bank robber in town would be at the city bank that night. GL and the police stood guard at the bank entrance when GL noticed one of the officers going on about betting odds, and took off his mask, revealing him as Gambler. He was taken to police headquarters, but GL realized the Gambler was too smart to give himself away so easily, and tugged off the "Gambler's" mask, revealing him as a decoy criminal. While the hero was occupied Gambler and Bowie's gang robbed $100,000 from the bank. The next crook to spin landed on Green Lantern, so Gambler put his plan to eliminate his archenemy into motion, sending a note to him announcing he'd kidnap him from his own station. During the GL show two gunmen opened fire, and GL pursued. He saw "Doiby" in his cab, but realized it was the Gambler disguised as his sidekick. GL disguised Doiby as himself to see where the Gambler's scheme was going. Gambler knocked out "GL" with sleeping gas and drove him back to his hq with the real GL secretly following. Gambler put "GL" in a giant roulette ball, releasing him onto a giant roulette wheel where every slot was rigged with explosives. The real GL revealed himself, saving the disguised Doiby and taking Gambler and the underworld heads into police custody.

(Green Lantern I #36) - GL celebrated the one year anniversary of his friend Gene Marsh's play Red Domino about a masked criminal by making a guest theatre appearance. That night two robberies occurred in the theatre district, with a red domino left behind as a calling card, but GL couldn't believe his friend was an actual criminal. GL and Doiby attended an Analysts' Club meeting to hear a lecture from Dr. Cypher about logical deduction. Cypher said his deductive skills led him to the conclusion that Alan Scott and Green Lantern were one and the same because they both attended Analysts' meetings, but never at the same time. The club scoffed at him, but GL worried about his promise to prove his theory correct. He thought Cypher might try to keep him from attending the next meeting, and after a failed attempt by Doiby and GL to capture the Red Domino gang he suspected Cypher was the criminal. GL recruited Marsh to disguise himself as Scott, and Cypher's gang kidnapped "Alan" and Doiby, then promised the Analysts' he would prove GL was Alan when he failed to appear at the meeting. GL showed up, revealed Cypher as the Red Domino, and sent him to jail.

(Green Lantern I #36) - Doiby drove Alan to WXYZ to pitch a new show called Americans Making History Today to sponsor J.J. Alan promised Sylvia Woods, the only female lumberjack, as his first guest, and said his secretary Molly was flying her in from Oregon. Molly was sad to report that Woods was having trouble at her camp and couldn't make it, so J.J. threatened to pull his sponsorship. Alan asked Molly to begin the show and promised GL would help Woods solve her problems and bring her to the station. Woods' crew were threatening to quit after several suspicious accidents, a log jam being the latest. GL cleared the logjam with explosives because his ring was useless against wood, but as soon as the mess was cleared a log came down the slide and almost hit him and Woods. The culprit was rival logger Big Lonvess and his men, but GL and Woods thrashed them and turned them over to the authorities before GL rushed her to WXYZ for the show.

(Green Lantern I #37) - GL was called to police headquarters, where Doiby and every other patron of the Magnus Jewelry Store was confessing to the store's robbery early that day. A number of other crimes were committed where everyone present confessed, and GL investigated, realizing only one person was present at every lineup. He lured the man, Del Lupin, to police hq when he promised to confess to a crime, and Lupin was worried someone else was using his racket. They fought to the rooftops, and GL found out that Lupin was using a hypnotizing gas to convince the innocent bystanders that they's committed his crime. During the fight Del Lupin plunged to his death, and GL was satisfied that justice had been carried out.

(Green Lantern I #38) - WXYZ president was planning on cancelling Clay Chalmers brainteaser show Mr. Paradox, so Alan Scott and Doiby called on manufacturer C.K. Nevins to sponsor the show. Chalmers' show was about Achilles and the Tortoise, but Nevins was unimpressed, and the show was cancelled. Chalmers said there was only one thing for him to do, so Alan sent Doiby to follow him and make sure he didn't do anything stupid. He lost track of him, but found a costumed man carrying a stickpin named Mr. Paradox robbing Nevins' factory after hypnotizing the workers, and he sent off his signal-rocket, summoning GL. Mr. Paradox hypnotized GL so that even though Paradox was walking away and GL was flying after him he couldn't keep up. GL suspected Chalmers had snapped and turned to crime, and found Paradox and his gang planning a job at Chalmer's house. The gang defeated Doiby and GL, and Paradox rejected his gang's idea of just shooting the heroes, wanting to make a statement about paradoxes. Demonstrating the paradox of dancing balls he placed them in glass spheres and set them atop a fountain while an automated machinegun fired at them. The heroes escaped and foiled Paradox and his gang from robbing a Nevins delivery freight train loaded with gems. GL unmasked Paradox, revealing him to be C.K. Nevins. Nevins had gone bankrupt, and when Chalmers went back home to Indiana he came up with the idea of framing him for the robberies while collecting the insurance money.

Doiby's appearance in Green Lantern I #37 was reprinted in Detective Comics I #440 and Green Lantern Annual, No 1, 1963 Issue. His appearance in Green Lantern I #38 was reprinted in Green Lantern II #89.
