Double Detective May 1940 The Green Lama: Croesus of Murder

The shadow of a ruthless, mad dictator’s power casts itself over the nation and The Green Lama marshals his cohorts in a battle to the death against this secret menace led by a masked American who seeks the mantle of world dictator. The jade-robed Buddhist priest who battled crime as The Green Lama is back! Conceived in 1939 to compete with The Shadow, it was an outlandish concept. While The Shadow possessed the power to cloud men’s minds. The Green Lama relied on other, even weirder, powers — including the ability to become radioactive and electrically shock opponents into submission! He carried a traditional Tibetan scarf, which he employed to bind and befuddle opponents, and possessed a knowledge of vulnerable nerve centers which he put to good use in hand-and-hand combat. Om Mani Padme Hum! The Green Lama knows!
