MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 121: THE WITCH

(Slam-Bang Comics 001, 1940)


On the one hand the Witch uses smoke-dragon magic in an attempt to kill Diamond Jack for some thugs. On the other, she's an old woman who Diamond Jack strips of her power and leaves weeping in her slum hovel. Still... technically a villain?
