Cover by Lee Elias. Stories and art by Bob Powell, Howard Nostrand, Manny Stallman, John Giunta Joe Certa, John Belfi, Sid Check and Frank Frazetta. Former superhero comic Black Cat becomes a showcase for Harvey's unique brand of pre-Code horror. A man is stealing corpses form the cemetery, and the townspeople want to know why. A dark spoof of the movie Mogambo, an experiment in the Mad-style humor that resulted in Harvey's short-lived comic Flip. A mysterious visitor to a small town has plans of revenge against the town elders, in a story with early inking assists by fantasy art legend Frank Frazetta. Notorious pre-Code cover by Lee Elias, showing a man's face and hands burning away, is one of the most famous of the era. The King Is Dead; The Artificial Sky; Occupation; Moe Gambo; White Heat; And Still Champion; Torture!; Here Today…. 36 pages, full color. Cover price $0.10.
