Supporting Character(s):

Doiby Dickles

Harlequin (Molly Mayne (often spelled Maynne); first appearance; Alan Scott's new secretary; see Comments; next in issue #91)

Other Character(s):

Comment(s):

As revealed later, The Harlequin was given her Hypno-glasses (and her flying car!) by The Manhunters, which probably happens between panels of this story.
Since Lentil suggested the Harlequin character, he may also be a Manhunter agent.
The calendar showing the Harlequin is showing the month of September, but it is probably earlier than that.
