FASCIST GOON CLEARING HOUSE 002

More fascist chodes for your edification:


The American Freedom Club AKA the Movement AKA the New Order were propagandists looking to corrupt the youth of the nation, starting with the Boyville Orphanage and ending with a beating from the Boyville Brigadiers (Feature Comics 047, 1941)


The Anti-American Bund, a standard outsized play on the weenies that were the German-American Bund (remember them as the ones who ran away before Jack Kirby could ride the elevator down to beat them up). This version is for some reason forcing this lady who merely married a bundist to be their leader until she is rescued by Neon the Unknown (Hit Comics 008, 1941)


The Double Cross! A non-specific Axis force poised to invade the US from within but foiled by the scientific acumen of Wizard Wells and the rough and tumble charm of his assistant Tug (Crack Comics 012, 1941)


The Fasdicks/ the Fasdick Company, a fascist organization operating a business as a front for an invasion of the Phillipines and possibly a very oblique rude pun name? Foiled by Spin Shaw (Feature Comics 040, 1941)

GENERIC COSTUMED VILLAIN ROUND-UP 002

Another collection of those middling muddlers who didn't quite make it to the minor leagues: the generic costumed villains!

Trag

A gentleman with the unlikely name of Trag dressed up in this unusual mask in an attempt to frame a guy with the only slightly less unusual name of Doctor Prowl before Madam Fatal put the kibosh on him. (Crack Comics 008, 1940)

Natas

This here fella was the secret head of a protection racket shaking down all of the laundries in town. Scientific sleuth Wizard Wells knew it was one of the laundry owners behind the mask but not which one. Surprising nobody, it was the one named Natas. (Crack Comics 009, 1941)

General Korn

Behind this mask is one General Korn, who responded to the US government not buying his remote bomb detonator by first blowing up part of Washington DC and then trying to explode the US Senate itself. But little did he know that Black Condor was on that senate, so he got caught post haste. (Crack Comics 013, 1941)

MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 989: THE ARTIST

(Jackpot Comics 004, 1941) An otherwise-unnamed portraitist, the Artist finds himself down on his luck because he refuses to flatter his cli...
