MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 435: KAR THE DESTROYER

(Shadow Comics v1 003, 1940)


Here is a list of elements that are in the three-issue story that Kar the Destroyer is the antagonist of: 

-a dissolving gas called the Smoke of Eternity

-a diving bell repurposed as a deathtrap

-multiple pirate ships

-Thunder Island, a place with a prehistoric remnant ecosystem complete with dinosaurs

-Doc Savage

Here is how the story made me feel:

-bored

It's a real shame because love most of those things! I love Kar's look! I feel like I should love Doc Savage but I don't and it  might be for the same reason I didn't like this: it was a slog to read just like any time I try reading Doc Savage. It's a real shame!
