MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 343: THE TWISTER

(Master Comics 008, 1940)


Not a particularly distinguished entry today: the Twister is a gang boss who employs child pickpockets and keeps them in line with the threat of some semi-eponymous neck-twisting. No idea why he bothers with the robe and cowl - El Carim doesn't even bother to unmask him.


More fun than the Twister himself, in fact, is that his old gang is loyal enough to try to take revenge on El Carim in the next issue - a rare bit of continuity for the Golden Age.
