The Sandman takes over, and wow. We open with wealthy man about town Wesley Dodds (Sandman's alter ego) and his best gal pal Dian taking a scenic drive through the countryside.
That's when they hit a giant.
Yup, a giant. The poor fellow escaped from the residence of the mad Dr. Faversham. His whole deal is pumping chemicals into pituitary glands. Why? SCIENCE! And he'll make those blind fools pay! Thankfully the Sandman and his gas gun make short work of the mad doc.
A bit silly. The Sandman tended to face your standard crooks, so a mad scientist was a bit out of left field. The doc also brings to mind Hugo Strange but I'm sure that wasn't intentional.
