Jet Black

Born in the pages of Manhunt in 1947, Jet Black is a Golden Age creation of the talented Ogden Whitney, launched under the banner of Magazine Enterprises during one of comics' most adventurous eras. Turning up across titles like Extra Comics and Thrilling Science Tales, this character inhabits a wonderfully eclectic corner of mid-century comics, sharing pages with the likes of Larry Davis, Gunner Blinks, and Funnyman. What's remarkable is the sheer span of time attached to this name — from the late 1940s all the way to 1989, a stretch of over four decades that speaks to a quietly enduring presence. For collectors who love digging into the rich, underexplored territory of Magazine Enterprises, Jet Black is exactly the kind of discovery that makes the hunt worthwhile.
