Black Cat Comics #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeHollywood's glamorous detective star leaps into action on this 1947 Harvey Comics cover, where the Black Cat — masked, red-haired, and fists raised — dominates the image in her striking black costume and red boots. Below her, a man with a microphone asks a woman in a yellow dress, "What was your favorite role, Miss Turner?" — a playful nod to the character's dual life as a Hollywood star. With cover art by Al Avison and Lee Elias, and an interior adventure titled "The Eye of Karnak" written by Blanche Carlin and drawn by Bill Draut, this issue is a fine example of postwar superhero comics at their most entertaining.

While writing his memoirs, retired Judge Fragelet muses over sentencing a criminal named Bruin to jail, when suddenly he is killed from behind by escapee Bruin. When Judge Straight reads of this in the morning paper, he, as The Red Demon, searches the late judge's home and discovers a clue to the killer: a peanut shell, which leads The Demon to Bruin and to trial. However, "Blinky" escapes on the way to court, and The Demon once again must track him down to bring justice. By a twist of fate, "Blinky" saves the Demon and a little girl, displaying the fact that there is good in everyone.
