Black Cat Western

From 1950, Bob Haney and Lee Elias brought a gritty, streamlined vision to the Western genre with Black Cat Western, a single-issue comic that stands as a lean, atmospheric snapshot of the era's pulp storytelling. Published under the Streamline imprint, this brief entry focuses on a lone, mysterious drifter whose encounters with outlaws and frontier justice define its hard-boiled tone. Though its run was limited, the creative pairing of Haney’s taut scripting and Elias’s expressive art makes it a noteworthy artifact of mid-century Western comics.
