MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 639: LU CHENG THE FORBIDDEN

(Fantastic Comics 013, 1940) 


A vampire holed up in a cave in the Gobi Desert with a bunch of lady vampires, Lu Cheng the Forbidden talks a big game but I reckon that he's super screwed. He's somehow found himself in one of the largest deserts in the world, presumably farther from human habitation than is comfortable for a vampire - when Captain Kidd wanders into his cave all Lu Cheng is concerned with is using his plane to get the heck out of the Gobi.

Lucky for Captain Kidd, Lu Cheng is not the kind of vampire that is immune to everything that isn't a specific vampire weakness, or maybe is a kind of vampire that is vulnerable to grenades. Either way, he ends up dead for real. And as a bonus, the lady vampires are the kind of vampire thrall that returns to normal once the head vampire is killed! Hooray!
