Crossover Cover: Domino Lady's Threesome

In this one-shot, the Domino Lady goes undercover at a burlesque house to investigate the disappearance of several showgirls. Violet Ray Brant, the Golden Amazon (who appeared in 24 stories by British-born author John Russell Fearn in The Toronto Star Weekly) is also working there undercover for the same reason. The two of them eventually team up with the ghostlike heroine known as the Veil (an original character created by this comic's co-author, the late Howard Hopkins) to battle the Mercurian who has captured the girls.

    Is the Mercurian a super villain or an alien from Mercury?

    I never heard of the Golden Amazon or the Veil before.

    He's an alien from Mercury. I should probably clarify that in my write-up,

    This page has some info about the Golden Amazon: http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/g/goldamaz.htm

    As far as I know, this is the only appearance the Veil has made to date. Since Howard Hopkins sadly passed away the month before this comic was published, I'm not sure whether any other authors at Moonstone will use her in stories.

    I imagine then that he's an alien from an alternate universe of Mercury since ours has no life on it. Reminds me of the Spirit story where he runs into a spy from Mars. In WN terms it can't be our Mars or even probably even Barsoom.
