The Adventures of Catman

John Dixon’s The Adventures of Catman ran for 12 issues from 1958 to 1959 with Frew Publications, a short-lived but fondly remembered Australian series. Written and drawn entirely by Dixon, it followed the costumed hero through inventive, locally flavored adventures that set it apart from the American superhero boom of the era. Though brief, the series remains a notable artifact of mid-century Australian comics, showcasing Dixon’s singular vision as both writer and artist.
