In "Oil Well Menace," the 1949 Harvey classic Black Cat Comics #18, Russell Stamm pens and illustrates a taut tale of deception and danger, as Mrs. Miterbox hides Roscoe Roland from the ever-watchful Scarlet. With secrets buried deeper than the oil wells of the title, both Miterbox and Roland plot their next moves—leaving Scarlet racing to uncover the truth before it's too late. The cover by Lee Elias captures the tension with sharp, dramatic flair.
