Bring on the Bad Guys: Gypper Zilch

Real name: Gypper Zilch 

First appearance: Flash Comics#19 (July 1941)

Abilities: Lawyer 

Worst act: Insurance fraud 

Created by: Gardner Fox (script) and Harold Wilson Sharp (art)  


A lawyer named Gypper Zilch? Was Al Capp ghostwriting this one?

Jay is out for a nice drive (begging the question why he'd have a car...again) when he has a near collision. When the man complains of being horribly mangled, this gets Jay on the case. Trailing the man to his lawyer, the Flash learns of an insurance racket. He trolls them good and exposes Zilch's scheme.
