This is an oddball tale from the first issue of Hillman’s
Crime Detective (1948). Along with more traditional crime stories about crooks who end up in the electric chair, we have this silly science fiction story. I assume it was an inventory tale, and in spite of the plot about a robber gang it doesn’t fit the rest of the comic at all.
The gaudily-dressed, hooded men use a concoction of “infra-red liquid” to render themselves invisible. I wonder if I could find a bucket of that on Amazon.com? I have a Christmas gift certificate I want to spend.
P.S. Make sure to look for the injury-to-the-eye panel
