MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 011: THE MASKED MAN

 (Adventure 032, 1938)


British Army officer who lined his own pockets supplying rebels in India. Fought Captain Desmo, a masked aviator whose comics were on the whole drawn as if they took place in North Africa even though quite a lot of them were set in India - not so uncommon a type of thing to happen in all the various times before reference materials became as easy to access as they are now.

Anyway: the Masked Man. Fairly unremarkable, although it is interesting to note just how unsettling a domino mask can be when it's made out of what looks like leather.
