Flash vol 1 issue 53 pg 53 (1944) by Sheldon Moldoff! "Simple Simon met the Hawkman" written by Gardner Fox (Creator of DC Multiverse!)

1944 Golden age DC Comics art for Sale! Art from this era is pretty scarce. It was recycled, trashed or lost to time and history. Here we have Flash vol 1 issue 53 pg 53 (1944) by Sheldon Moldoff! From a Hawkman story called "Simple Simon met the Hawkman". Simple Simon plans a crime that involves a bowling ball, a hairpin and a penny! Hawkman solves the crime... now all he has to do is catch him! A great Golden Age page!

Twice up! 14.5x22.5! HUGE! Considering the age it is in fantastic condition. Paper has yellowed a bit with age, but the art is as bold with dark inks!

Sheldon Moldoff (/ˈmoʊldɒf/; April 14, 1920 � February 29, 2012) was an American comics artist best known for his early work on the DC Comics characters Hawkman and Hawkgirl, and as one of Bob Kane's primary "ghost artists" (uncredited collaborators) on the superhero Batman. He co-created the Batman supervillains Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, the second Clayface, and Bat-Mite, as well as the original heroes Bat-Girl, Batwoman, and Ace the Bat-Hound. Moldoff is the sole creator of the Black Pirate. Moldoff is not to be confused with fellow Golden Age comics professional Sheldon Mayer.

During the late-1930s and 1940s Golden Age of comic books, Moldoff became a prolific cover artist for the future DC Comics. His work includes the first cover of the Golden Age Green Lantern, on issue #16 (July 1940) of All-American's flagship title All-American Comics, featuring the debut of that character created by artist Martin Nodell. Moldoff created the character Black Pirate (Jon Valor) in Action Comics #23 (April 1940),[5] and became one of the earliest artists for the character Hawkman (created by Gardner Fox and Dennis Neville. Moldoff drew the first image of the formerly civilian character Shiera Sanders in costume as Hawkgirl in All Star Comics #5, based on Neville's Hawkman costume design.
Beginning with Flash Comics #4 (April 1940), Moldoff became the regular Hawkman artist, following Neville's departure from the feature the issue before. He drew the Hawkman portions of the Justice Society of America stories published in All Star Comics as well. - wiki

Fox introduced the concept of the Multiverse to DC Comics in the 1961 story "Flash of Two Worlds!"
