MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 536: NAULUS

(Fantastic Comics 001, 1939)


Naulus is an undersea noble who is attempting to usurp the throne of Atlantis from its rightful ruler, Queen Lantida, and do Atlantean aristocrats get up to any other activities? Atlantis needs more hobby stores, I reckon.

FATE OF ATLANTIS: this version of Atlantis appears to be the standard ancient sunken city saved by super science - specifically a sealed dome city full of air. These aren't your water breathing Atlanteans, folks. Since this is a Sub Saunders story set in the year 10 000 this is also a much older Atlantis than usual.

Both Atlantis and Naulus are also unfortunately explicit slavers as they employ the services of these very cool but oppressed frogmen.
