“A gasp… a shriek… a grinning, savage face… eyes that light the night with horror… it’s the Black Cat! But, tonight, the Black Cat purrs. Why? What could cause a transformation such as this? The ghastly creature of ebony has prepared stories so chilling, so weird, so wild — that it purrs with the satisfaction of a job well done!” This captivating introduction to the letters column of Black Cat Mystery #37 sets the stage for an incredibly engaging reading experience. Unlike other comics, this series prominently features the letters column on the first page, highlighting the enthusiasm of its readers. With a cover that perfectly combines spooky and inviting elements, courtesy of the talented Warren Kremer, this Pre-Code Horror gem, Black Cat Mystery #37 (Harvey, 1952) in GD+ condition, demands attention at the 2023 July 13 – 14 Pre-Code Horror & Crime Comics Showcase Auction #40227 held by Heritage Auctions.
The talented Warren Kremer also contributes an incredibly well-executed interior tale called “The Moth” in this issue. However, the story behind the hauntingly captivating cover is illustrated by none other than Don Perlin, the co-creator of Moon Knight and an artist known for his work on Marvel horror titles like Werewolf by Night and Ghost Rider. This clever and supernatural thriller revolves around a young woman who is separated from her lover due to a treacherous murder, only to have him reach out to her from beyond the grave, seeking revenge. It’s worth noting that Warren Kremer would later go on to create iconic Harvey characters like Richie Rich and Hot Stuff the Little Devil, leaving a lasting impact in the world of comics.
By the time of this issue, the title had transitioned from a bi-monthly to a monthly release, with one letter writer expressing their desire for a weekly publication. The appeal of this 1952 Pre-Code Horror classic, Black Cat Mystery #37 (Harvey, 1952) in GD+ condition, is evident, and it can be yours through the 2023 July 13 – 14 Pre-Code Horror & Crime Comics Showcase Auction #40227 hosted by Heritage Auctions.
