Silver Streak (origin)

When a mysterious hypnotic swami transforms an ordinary stranger into the fearless driver Silver Streak, he unwittingly creates a champion powerful enough to take on the monstrous winged creature known as the Fly—a gigantic insect terrorizing the city with a campaign of destruction and extortion. As Silver Streak tears through the countryside in his super-powered racer to intercept the monster's latest scheme, a spectacular aerial battle erupts that will determine the fate of the city. Written by an uncredited creator with interior art by an uncredited artist, "The Mystery of the Monstrous Fly" pits raw hypnotic power against a truly fearsome foe in this 1941 adventure.
