“Few Golden Age super-villains had a better gimmick than The Weeper: a homicidal maniac who despised joy and wept crocodile tears over the tragic fates of his victims. Can you just imagine the type of field day Alan Moore or Grant Morrison would have with that particular concept?

Master Comics #23 (Fawcett, February 1942), here’s “The Weeper: The Murderer Who Mourns His Victims.”
