In some comics stories, robbers are a basic kind of bad guy
that can be thrown into the plot without much explanation.
Such is the case in the first story of the album
Kraken,
in which the robbers stay alive just long enough to provide
a chase scene and some corpses. See also |

pawnbroker's ticket! The Doll Man and Doll Girl followed
that clue into a net of mystery, where death flashed from
the darkness and only the hissing laughter of The Adder
told whence doom came! Can the world's mightiest mites
uncover the peril-shrouded puzzle behind the Ticket of
Terror!" -- Summary: A man comes to a pawnshop in the
"theatrical district" to retrieve a "theatrical trunk" that
he left nearly two years ago. The pawnbroker has sold it
already, and so is murdered by the man. Doll Man and Doll
Girl arrive, and the man calls himself The Adder, as he
escapes using acrobatic and knife-throwing skills. The
Adder finds the trunk in a junkyard, and the junk dealer
recognizes him as a former vaudeville performer with a
knife act. The Adder had been a robber, and was hiding
because of a murder accusation, but his loot was sewn into
the lining of the trunk. He manages to catch Doll Man and
Doll Girl when they arrive in pursuit. He puts them in the
trunk, and sinks them over the side of a motorboat. Our
heroes escape ("Houdini himself couldn't have done it
better"), and arrest The Adder, who later dies in the
electric chair according to a newspaper headline shown in
the final panel. -- Superhero genre. -- Data from Lou

committing robberies. "Within the unhuman ant form exists
an evil, cruel mind!" Zatan plans to take over Ant City and
be king, then conquer the rest of the world. Zatan gets
away from Captain Marvel Jr. using his "great jumping
ability, like all insects." He's an "ant Hitler!" Before an
ant-human peace treaty can even be proposed, Zatan kidnaps
Queen Illia and demands to be made king as his ransom. Once
he has the crown, the soldiers obey him and are soon
attacking a human village. Freddy Freeman and the queen end
up tied together, and when Freddy is able to say "Captain
Marvel" they escape and uncrown Zatan. Zatan goes to jail.
