☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the early encounters between Spider-Man and the Black Cat, including their first meeting in Amazing Spider-Man #194 and subsequent stories from the late 1970s and early 1980s. It showcases the evolution of Felicia Hardy from a cat-burglar antagonist to a complex ally and love interest, featuring work by writers like Marv Wolfman and artists such as Keith Pollard and Frank Miller.
In "But the Cat Came Back...", Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat, uses a staged mental breakdown to escape custody and return to her life of crime—this time targeting the mob. When Spider-Man intercepts her, she claims she’s ready to turn her skills toward justice, and as she proves her intentions, the two forge an uneasy alliance that ends in a shared moment of connection.
In "Goin' Straight!", Spider-Man and the Black Cat grapple with the tension between love and legacy as their relationship tests the boundaries of their criminal pasts. While Spider-Man pushes her toward a life of honesty, the Black Cat struggles to leave her old ways behind, tempting them both with a shared thrill of the heist. The story unfolds with emotional stakes and a daring leap that leaves Spider-Man reeling—both from the loss and the unexpected turn of fate.
