MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 256: MORGAN CROOKES

(Hit Comics 001, 1940)


Hey, it's Morgan Crookes, a retired man of great wealth! He tries to take over the world and gets stomped by Neon the Unknown in his first adventure! It's probably one of the most racist comics of the Golden Age! Which is saying something!
