Black Cat Comics #28

Harvey Comics' "The Darling of Comics" swings into high-seas adventure in this April 1951 issue, with cover art by Lee Elias showcasing a fearsome red-bearded buccaneer brandishing a cutlass and pistol over an open treasure chest — while a scrappy young boy fights back with a sword of his own, a tall ship looming in the background. The cover copy promises the story of "The Crimson Raider" and teases whether Black Cat can outwit the Phantom Buccaneer, and a skull resting in the foreground sets a satisfyingly eerie tone. This issue also heralds the arrival of Kit, billed as Black Cat's bold new ally, making it an especially lively entry in the series.
