(Funny Pages v1 007, 1936)
Dastardly desert bandit who bedevils scientist Fred Murray and his children Jimmie and Norrie as they search Egypt for the Sapphire Eye of Sehkmet. He's a pretty basic type villain but I have some affection for these pulp-style fellows as we start to get away from them. Note also the all-purpose accent he's sporting, which was definitely the go-to for Golden Age creators who didn't know what, say, an Egyptian sounded like.
As far as I know (taking into account Centaur Comics' tendency to shuffle features in and out of their various anthology titles in a fashion that I would describe as willy-nilly) the "Sapphire Eye of Sehkmet" feature never actually wrapped up, so the Silver Fox joins our collection of villains who have escaped justice via publishing and business decisions.
