Eventually Foley and his Indian guide and friend Wingfoot manage to capture the masked man and he stands revealed as transplanted Englishman and rancher Reginald Torbin who was emulating his ancestor Dick Torbin, the famous highwayman. His downfall was in part to carrying the emulation too far in wearing an identical costume as the one of Dick’s in a portrait hanging in his home that Foley had seen while meeting with the rancher.

Tigress: 1938, Action Comics #1 (DC). Sexy and dangerous master criminal and foe of the magician Zatara. Even in this adventure, they already had met at least once before. While she had a penchant for tight striped tops, she didn't wear a costume as such, a red headband, black & yellow top and blue skirt.

Before he dies, he instructs Ace to take his belt upon which the creature shrinks to more human proportions. When he puts on the belt, Ace grows to gigantic size, finds his mind flooded with knowledge, and has Superman-like powers such as able to leap vast distances and supervision. He rushes the creature to the hospital where it later dies and returns to the spaceship which he now knows how to operate and turn invisible. When the Slogons launch their attack, he uses the ship and his knowledge to repel them. Removing the belt returns him back to normal. He decides to use the belt and ship to do good.

"'The Dragon' is the name stubborn Chinese guerillas have bestowed on their two fisted Marine leader Red McGraw who leads them into battle against the invading hordes of Japanese…" While a soldier, the Dragon does go in for a bit of flair, wearing a tight red shirt with a monstrous face on the chest. All in all, it seems to be a well done little war strip, with above average art that does not caricature its renderings of the Asian peoples.

Fargo Kid: Feature Comics (Quality). At first glance, the Fargo Kid aka Tim Turner seems your average cowboy strip. However, his adventures take place in the “Modern” West as he fights Nazis among other bad guys though he wears the traditional cowboy outfit complete with six-guns and chaps.

Zero is wondering about Jim’s growling when he sees Jim is attacked by the “Ghost Werewolf”.

Luckily for Zero it does, and as he and Dr. Turner check Jim, they discover in death, his face has changed… he too was a werewolf. NOTE: In this story, full of holes as it is, it also seems to confuse werewolf lore with Hollywood vampires, that it takes a stake through the heart to kill them.

God of Breeze: 1943, Feature Comics #71. A sentient wind, depicted as an anthromorphic cloud with a cherubic face, not too dissimilar in appearance from a Casper-style ghost, he blows across the country causing destruction. His saboteur ways are deflated by the hero Inferior Man. A humor strip.

He consents and when he hears a commotion and rushes into the room, all he finds is her burning costume and an open window to a five hundred foot drop into the swamps and quicksand (what kind of place was this anyways?). NOTE: Of interesting note, just today by having to go through all my pages and a posting on a message board about this particular character, I realized this entry is pretty much identical to an entry on the MLJ Encyclopedia of the Cat's Claw, a Bob Phantom foe, information provided by Mr. Durrant, although readers that have read both assure me there's also quite a bit of difference.

Ghosts: 1941, Daring Mystery Comics #7. On her way way to a masquerade ball Betty Barstow investigates the reports of ghosts at Woodline Cemetery that her boss private investigator Dan Hurley dismisses as drunken tales by the caretaker. With her knowledge of Jui-jitsu, she easily takes out the counterfeiters using it as a base of operations.

S. Navy installation there without anyone knowing who had done the sabotage - at least until one of the boys was killed while stealing a jeep. The Young Allies (including Bucky and Toro) were called in and they allowed a group of young native boys to pose as them and allow themselves to be captured by Prince Shinto. In the process of trying to free the native boys, the Young Allies destroyed Prince Shinto's base and the Prince as well.

The Vampire: 1940, Daring Mystery Comics #2. Arch-enemy of Mr. E. While only the one adventure is published, it's evident in the story that he and Mr. E had numerous clashes previously.

His real name was Ravonno and he was a former circus magician which explained his ability to disappear and to switch himself for his trained hawk, making it look like he changed shape. NOTE: Sadly Mr. Durrant didn't provide me with any publishing info, so not sure where the proper place is for this entry.

Pretty Face: Anthony Durrant tells us: Pretty Face was a ruthless killer who left his trademark - a card with a picture of a heart pierced with an arrow on it - at the scenes of his murders. He mistakenly kidnapped Ethan Hunt, Special Police Operative 13, on the assumption that he was Tom, a fellow police officer and the fiance of a girl named Rosie. His plan was to burn down his hideout with both Tom and Rosie in it, killing them both. Unfortunately for him, Rosie dashed water in his face, and Hunt pulled off Pretty Face's handsome face to reveal his real one - Pretty face's real face was hairless, with big wild eyes and frizzy hair, the result of a warehouse fire. Just as Pretty Face was about to shoot Hunt, Tom burst in and shot him.
