MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 022: THE TARANTULA

(Adventure 040, 1939)

Standard masked crook, remarkable only for being the Sandman's first foe. Shows up later in one or two crowd scenes.

This story is also notable for being the only time Golden Age Wesley Dodds tucks in a little doll version of himself before heading out as Sandman, a charming bit that was later adopted as an ongoing thing in Sandman Mystery Theatre.
