Characters
Black Cat

Indexer Notes

Letter from Joseph Kary and Short Comments Dept., including a discussion of the creation of the Black Cat. It is accompanied by the original pencil sketch design for the Black Cat by Dave Cockrum, as well as a rejected cover for this issue drawn by Keith Pollard. The inker's name is too small to make out (but may be Steve Leialoha). This sequence added 2005 by Steven Tice.
