Black Cat Comics #9

Billed as "Hollywood's Glamorous Detective Star" and "The Darling of Comics," Black Cat leaps into action on this January 1948 Harvey issue, with cover art by Lee Elias showing her squaring off against a hulking opponent at center while multiple brawls erupt around them — henchmen getting tossed and punched in every direction. Elias fills the sunny yellow cover with kinetic energy, making it clear this red-haired heroine is more than capable of holding her own against a whole room full of trouble. With a story titled "College for Murder" waiting inside, this ten-cent issue promises that Black Cat's adventures are anything but quiet.
