The Origin of the Golden Age Black Cat Conclusion

No time to talk, just dive in...

Well, that synopsizes what happened in Part One pretty well.
Back to the action...

The Black Cat WILL return in the near future!

Note: the scans for this two-parter were from microfiche instead of a scanned comic, so the quality isn't up to our usual standards.

(Of course, if someone has an unslabbed copy of this incredibly-rare comic and can either scan it or loan it to us to scan...)

The Origin of the Golden Age Black Cat

You responded so enthusiastically to the Final Tale of the Golden Age Black Cat post, that we've decided to present her origin tale...

More close calls for the fledgling super-heroine as we present the conclusion tomorrow!

The FINAL tale of the Golden Age Black Cat!

Back in the 1940s, one of the hottest superheroines in comics was The Black Cat.
Actress / stuntwoman Linda Turner fought crime in a skimpy costume from 1940 to 1951, then in reprints from the late '50s to early '60s and from 1989-1995, when an updated version of the character was produced.
What was hoped to be the first issue of an ongoing series turned out to be a one-shot due to poor distribution.
It's a shame, the talent involved included writer Mark Evanier, legendary artist Murphy Anderson, the late Mike Wieringo, and the Brothers Hildebrandt (Tim & Greg), and the series was both a loving tribute to the Golden Age material, and a chance to continue in a PG /  PG-13 cheesecake style matching the classic comics without being "too adult-oriented"!
The publishers have graciously posted online both the story from the sole published issue and the art from the unpublished second issue here.
Enjoy! (I did!)

And not one plug for Atomic Kommie Comics™ merchandise! I must be slipping!
