MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 202: THE GHOST-GUN KILLER

(Crack Comics 016, 1941)


A hired killer working for perennial Black Condor villain Jaspar Crow, the Ghost-Gun Killer is tasked with murdering workers at the Great Northern Copper Mine at a hundred bucks a pop in order to drive down the value of the company, thus allowing Crow to buy it on the cheap. 

His mystique is enhanced by (and name is taken from) his choice of weapon: a silenced rifle mounted with a powerful laser-like light, giving the impression that he uses some sort of death ray weapon to kill. Ultimately it's not enough to take on Black Condor and the Ghost-Gun Killer is shipped off to jail.
