1941
As always if you would rather listen then read to the 1,500 words that are about to happen here please check out the Lady Comic Book History podcast. We start our discussion of 1941 with Black Cat, a comic heroine featured in Harvey Comics from 1941-1951 and was a part of the reprints in the mid-50s and early 60s. The Black Cat made her debut in the first issue of Pocket Comics in August 1941. Earning her own title in 1946 it ran for 29 issues before changing names several times from Black Cat Western Comics, Black Cat Mystery Comics, Black Cat Western Mystery, and Black Cat Mystery before going back to the simple Black Cat for it's final 3 issues #63-#65.
