Black Vulture Comic

Tom Hubble’s Black Vulture Comic, a single 1945 issue from Australia’s N.S.W. Bookstall, introduces a costumed hero of the skies in a self-contained, wartime-era one-shot. Hubble both wrote and illustrated this lone entry, making it a singular, personal vision in early Australian comics. Though short-lived, it remains a curious artifact of the country’s mid-century pulp adventure scene.
