The Flash rescues painter Boleau from some gunmen sent to kill him by a greedy art collector known as the Vandal, an owner of several Boleau paintings, who has been murdering artists to drive up the value of his collection. Flash thwarts this operation, as well as a backup scheme in which the crook tries to rob an art museum.
Valuation parity across physical collectible manifestations for Flash Comics #5.
