American Comics Update: The Bute Collection Black Cat Giants from Harvey 1962
*Harvey: Also from the Bute Collection this week, two giant-size issues of Harvey’s Black Cat from 1962, reprinting the classic heroine’s adventures from the 1940s and 1950s. Back then, Linda Turner was the only Black Cat in comics, ‘Hollywood Star and America’s Sweetheart’ turned costumed crime-fighter and judo expert, alongside her teenage boy sidekick Black Kitten. Three 64 (plus covers) page issues were published and we have the first two of these in this week, crammed full of Linda’s adventures in a variety of settings (Hollywood, jungle, pirates etc) drawn by the underrated Lee Elias, plus many pages of the Black Cat’s judo tricks. Great packages!
