MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 048: THE EMPEROR

(Whiz Comics 006, 1940)

A smuggler who founds an island haven for fugitive criminals, the Emperor makes a key mistake: he forgets that the citizens of his island empire are all murderers and acts like a tyrant. Predictably, he gets murdered.

2025 UPDATE: I just reread this story and I think that it's imperative that I note that the Emperor, aka Scarface Otto Krug, was specifically an ambergris smuggler.
