Worst Character Names of Mongo

This week, I may have stumbled upon the highest concentration of terrible character names in the history of the Flash Gordon comic strip (specifically the Sunday strips of late 1945). Don Moore, the ghostwriter for the strips, must have been very tired when he created these:

• Grusom
• Evila
• Dicto
• Traito
• Darlia

"Kang flees with two of his inner circle, the torturer, Grusom, and the beautiful, power-mad Evila..." (28 October 1945)

"Dicto, head of the new Mongo Bureau of Investigation, reports to Flash: 'We have a lead. This citizen, Traito, says he saw Kang rocketing toward Deserta.'" (4 November 1945)

"Flash and Dicto race to search Evila's townhouse where they find her lovely twin sister, Darlia." (4 November 1945)

Deserta indeed.
