#5

Synopsis

Because he was a model prison, Dyce is awarded freedoms, including being a trustee and working in the prison offices where he had access to the daily news. Because of this freedom, he was enabled to dash out of and into the prison, usually under the cover of darkness. On one such venture, he meets his first masked foe, The Brick Bat, who had forced a scientist to create a lethal brick which released a deadly gas upon impact.
