From Wildfire: "The Murderous Frog of the Mardi Gras" by Robert Turner and Jim Mooney, Smash Comics #32 (February 1942)
It's goodbye to The Invisible Hood in this issue (until a brief appearance in All-Star Squadron), but I don't care, not when the Wildfire strip offers up sweet visuals like this killer frog villain, pre-dating Marvel's Leapfrog by decades. His military outfit in France used to kid "Froggy" Miller because he looked like a frog (he was a bow-legged Peter Lorre, basically), but don't worry, that's not what turned him to crime per se (he was already a thief), but it did turn him to DEADLY REVENGE and CLEVER CATCHPHRASES!
