Blackhawk #37
In "The Nine Lives of the Cat-Man," a European city marks its 1,000-year anniversary, only to find that the events recorded in its ancient chronicle, The Crimson Folio, are beginning to repeat—threatening the descendant of the final victim listed in its pages. With art by Mort Meskin and inks by Meskin and George Roussos, this 1958 thriller blends historical mystery and creeping dread, while Dick Dillin and Charles Cuidera deliver a striking cover that captures the story’s eerie tone.
