I just had to do something to feature Brother X from “Brother X; or the Gobblers of Turkey Neck.
He could have been a contender and one of the early prototypes for the master villain along with Dracula, Professor Moriarty, Monsieur Zenith the Albino, Fantômas, and Fu Manchu if only he had been, well, not some much of turkey.
If only he had called his gang the X-Chaps or something.
I mean what was the motto of that gang?
“We are the Gobblers of Turkey Neck, chop off one head and we run around like crazy for half a minute or so before falling down!”
Brother X; or the Gobblers of Turkey Neck (the story continues)
Alright, so they’re not exactly the Red Skull and Hydra, but as at the time the only examples of a supervillain they had to go on were Professor Moriarty and Dracula and the closest idea to vast evil secret societies were hysterical pamphlets against the Freemasons.
This is no doubt the reason the Council of Turkeys don’t quite cut the mustard… though they might go over well if slathered in same and placed between two slices of bread as thanksgiving left overs.
Now if they were owls that would be something else altogether!
