Black Cat Comics #63

This Harvey Giant-Size issue from 1962 brings Black Cat face-to-face with a menacing insectoid villain called the Firebug — visible on the cover in his winged, helmeted suit, unleashing jets of flame across a city while Black Cat and a male ally charge directly into the danger. Lee Elias's cover art crackles with urgency, the speech bubble warning that the city itself hangs in the balance if the Firebug's secret isn't uncovered in time. Rounded out by the promise of "Black Cat's Judo Tricks" as an extra attraction, this 25-cent package offers a satisfying chunk of early-'60s superhero action.
