Man in Black

Harvey Comics’ Man in Black ran for just four issues from 1957 to 1958, a short-lived but atmospheric crime-noir series written and drawn by the prolific Bob Powell. The title followed a mysterious, trenchcoat-clad vigilante operating outside the law, dispensing his own brand of justice in shadowy urban settings. Powell’s moody, expressionistic artwork gave the series a distinct film-noir feel, making it a memorable if brief entry in Harvey’s mid-century lineup.
