The Doll Man

The list of comic book heros previously unknown to me continues to grow.  The latest addition is The Doll Man.  Apparently, this hero had the gravitational-physics-defying power to shrink himself down to a doll-like size, yet still retain the strength, inertia and momentum of a full sized human being.  In this issue from 1943, posted on Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine, the Doll Man helps save a refuge from a relentless Nazi agent.
