About the series
Holyoke's Cat-Man Comics ran for eleven issues from 1942 to 1943, a wartime Golden Age series built around the costumed hero David Merrywether, the Cat-Man, and his sidekick Katie Conn, the Kitten. The title is most notable for early work by a teenage Joe Kubert, who penciled and inked alongside the Quinlan family—Charles M. Quinlan Jr. on scripts and Charles Quinlan Sr. on art. It stands as a scrappy, short-lived example of the period's explosion of animal-themed vigilantes, offering a glimpse into the formative years of a future comics legend.
