Doll Man first made its appearance in September 1941, with stories featuring a toy-sized superhero. Some would say it would have been a good Ant-Man rival. The issues featured several Doll Man stories and some one-page fillers with other Quality Comics (later DC Comics) characters, such as Poison Ivy. The series had a pretty good 47 issue run, spanning 12 years. When Quality Comics became DC Comics, some readers expected to see the Doll Man stories again but they were never rewarded.
