MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 380: THE ASSASSINS

(More Fun Comics 065, 1941)


It's another version of a revival of the Assassins! These Assassins are very into the accuracy of it all and have their own Alamut HQ and their own top guy named Hassan (presumably followed by Ibn Sabbah but it's never said in full). Commitment to the bit is not quite enough to save them once second-rate Lawrence of Arabia Lance Larkin gets on the case, however.

This group were based out of Iran, unlike the Order of Assassins or the Society of Assassins, our previous claimants to the title of The Order of Assassins, Returned, For Real. Of the three, these latest guys are the least assassin-y - they operate a bit more like your standard comic book desert bandits.
