Origin and first appearance of the Tattooed Man.
After having his portrait painted by artist Lee Kerr for an art exhibition (which leaves Carol madly jealous when she sees that Lee is an attractive woman) The gallery is robbed by the Tattooed Man, a sailor who's tattoos become reality once he touches them. Using them to best Green Lantern in combat, the Tattooed Man manages to escape with the loot he had come to steal. As he gets away he recounts how he got his powers one day while breaking into a science lab and finding a special ink that turns whatever is drawn with it into reality.
