Description
The Black Cat comic book was published by Harvey Comics from 1941 to 1951. The character’s creation is claimed by the Harvey family to have originated with publisher Alfred Harvey. Black Cat was one of the earliest female superheroes. Remastered and digitally enhanced.
In Black Cat, Linda Turner is the daughter of silent film Western actor Tim Turner, and a former Hollywood stunt woman. Linda has successfully made the transition from stunt woman to lead actress. During the filming of an unnamed picture, Linda suspects the film’s director, Garboil (no first name given), of being a Nazi spy or at the very least an American Bund member. In order to follow him and gain corroborating evidence, she disguises herself in a backless blue blouse, red shorts, blue flared gloves, red buccaneer boots and a blue opera mask and calls herself the Black Cat.
While following Garboil, Black Cat meets Rick Horne, a reporter for the Los Angeles Globe who has been assigned to investigate rumors of a Nazi spy ring in LA. Initially disdainful of each other, the pair are forced to work together and discover that Garboil is planting secret information in his motion pictures. Using her knowledge of the studio, Black Cat sneaks into the editing room and changes the edit of the picture to render the information useless. When they are discovered, Rick and Cat physically overpower the gang and turn them in. Garboil escapes and Linda decides to maintain her Black Cat identity in order to keep watch over his activities.

Seeing this Golden age gem of a character that is now quite recognized, makes for a real good time. All images clear and well detailed. The number of issues is admirable and the old style adventure is fun. Access to download was simple and quick. I’ll enjoy this for a long time, thanks.
