| Well, that's NOT a .cbz file as indicated, the .rar coughs up individual .jpgs (which take up more memory and are a hassle to view in a row..) |

| Notes | First appearance. However, his origin was not told until Black Cat #6 (June-July 1947).
It is likely that this story and the story in issue #6 were printed out of order as #6 has the origin and no one even knew of him at that time like they do here in issue #4.
Script credit added by Craig Delich, per The Who's Who, which indicates that Carlin was the only writer for the strip. No extant evidence disputes this. |
