Bring on the Bad Guys: Grey Shirts

 Real names: Unrevealed 

First appearance: All-Star Comics#4 (March-April 1941)

Abilities: Intimidation 

Worst act: Being a Nazi, sabotage 

Created by: Gardner Fox (script), Chad Grothkopf (pencils)


The Sandman is on the case and the case leads him to El Paso. Seems the local branch of the Gray Shirts have been intimidating the local newspaper. 

The Sandman manages to stop them, not as the Sandman but rather as his alter-ego Wesley Dodds. He manages to take most of the group down with a speech, so convinces them to fight the rest of their fellows. 

Bit of a twist with the speech, but I suppose you can't convince that many people with just a gas gun. 

The last three chapters of this issue all focus on the Gray Shirts, with Fritz finally being fully stopped in the last chapter.
