(More Fun Comics 072, 1941)
The Hook is in reality cannery cwner Rand Greer, who has a lucrative sideline in smuggling jewels inside of frozen fish (and a less lucrative hobby of murdering FBI agents).
To justify the name, Greer has a hook hand concealed under a fake plastic hand (a pretty good one honestly - I reckon he's holding a fish with it in the first image). There's really nothing to this guy and I'd ordinarily banish him to the ranks of the generic villains if only to have a bit more excitement in entry number 400, but this marks the last appearance of Captain Desmo and I must say I'll miss him. Truly he was the best of the pilot/ adventurers, even if his foes weren't always worth writing home about.
