MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 132: THE REED

(Action Comics v1 036, 1941)


Another day, another spy from no specific nation striking at the US military for uncertain reasons. This one is even less successful than usual, as he almost blows up an Army convoy and almost blows up an artillery range. But what can I do: I'm a sucker for a monocle, a guy who throws poisoned darts and a neato name.
