MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 195: THE SOPHISTICATED LADY

(Crack Comics 010, 1941)


The Sophisticated Lady is a femme fatale thief of the kind that comics love. She has a decent career going as the comic opens but the Black Condor shows up to put the kibosh on it. Sadly she doesn't actually get to do that much on-panel, but the terrific name makes up for it a little.
