(More Fun 018, 1937)
Used a drug to simulate death in others, then revived them post-funeral and made them do his bidding by claiming that without continual treatments they would die again. Unfortunately for him, he tried the same trick on Dr Occult and was unmasked as a fraud, leading to his swift murder at the hands of his former minions.
SHOULD THEY BE BROUGHT BACK? My initial thought was that he would only be useful as a legacy name, but if, say, you were telling a Dr Occult yarn and worked in a recap of the original adventure early on then a reveal of the Lord of Life as someone who had really returned from the dead could be a nice cliffhanger/ ongoing mystery. Heck, tie it in with the Methuselah and Vampire Master stories (and maybe even work in something to do with the Master of Corpses, MSV No. 12) and you could have a neat little adventure where Dr Occult must reckon with the legacies of his earliest cases. Fun!
