Title
A name given to the resource
Black Cat Mystery, no. 57
Description
An account of the resource
<em>Black Cat</em> went through a number of title changes from its launch in 1946 to its eventual end in 1963. Initially a title named after the "Black Cat," a stunt woman and actress named Linda Turner who dons a costume to fight crime, the series would change formats to a Western, horror, and mystery title. Perhaps in response to the 1954 Comics Code, this issue boasts a "NEW DESIGN in mystery." It moves away from the scantily-clad heroine of the series, singled out in Fredric Wertham's <em>Seduction of the Innocent</em> as one of the negative influences on the youth of America because of Black Cat's penchant for hand-to-hand combat. This revised <em>Black Cat</em> title features suspense and science fiction stories. The cover references "20th Century Man," a story in this issue that is "told in the format of a television show. The story panels become your TV screen and the suspense of its awful problems comes to life before your eyes." Notably, the cover to this issue is pencilled and inked by famed comics artist Jack Kirby, co-creator of the Avengers, Captain America, the X-Men, and much more.

Title
A name given to the resource
First Romance, no. 39
Description
An account of the resource
According to Michelle Nolan, romance comics saturated the newsstands in 1950, resulting in "the Love Glut. In 1950, publishers kissed off no fewer than 117 of 147 romance titles" (62). Harvey's <em>First Romance</em> was one of the titles to survive. This particular issue of <em>First Romance</em> reprints stories of heartbreak and true love from First Romance #22 (1953), along with features like "Clothing Closeups," which instructs readers in fashion conventions, such as "Concealment is better than revealment!" While many genre comics are overtly fictional, this romance comic opens with a statement that its first story, "Heartbreak in Hollywood," is "dramatically, sensationally TRUE!" (Reference: Michelle Nolan, <em>Love on the Racks: A History of American Romance Comics</em>. Jefferson: McFarland, 2008.)

Little Lotta, no. 3
Description
An account of the resource
Little Lotta Plump was one of Harvey Comics' consistent characters, along with Little Audrey, Little Dot, and Richie Rich. Much of the humor in Little Lotta's comic book adventures comes from the incredible strength that she gets from eating massive amounts of food, as demonstrated on this issue's cover. Lotta's superhuman ability to eat is put to the test in this issue, when she dreams that she has eaten an entire whale, thus spoiling her appetite.

Pat Sullivan's Felix the Cat, no. 70
Description
An account of the resource
Felix the Cat first appeared in animated films in 1919. Produced by the Pat Sullivan studio and drawn by Otto Messmer, Felix the Cat has been a mainstay of popular culture since that moment, and began appearing in a syndicated newspaper comic strip in 1923. As Nicholas Sammond has argued, Felix borrowed directly from the conventions of minstrelsy and vaudeville performance, from the cat's facial expressions and movements to the world in which his adventures take place: "It was nowhere and everywhere, ephemeral and immanent" (117). (Reference: Nicholas Sammond, <em>Birth of an Industry: Blackface Minstrelsy and the Rise of American Animation</em>. Durham: Duke UP, 2015.)

Title
A name given to the resource
Warfront, no. 28
Description
An account of the resource
The cover of this war comic was drawn by Jack Kirby, one of the most celebrated comic book artists of the twentieth century. With its striking composition and sense of motion, the illustration demonstrates what would make Kirby a remarkable superhero artist. Even in a single illustration, there is a dynamic sense of motion and narrative. In his study of Kirby, Charles Hatfield provides some context that applies to this representation of warfare: "Starting in the late thirties and persisting to the late seventies, Kirby produced comic book work on a monthly basis, with but one significant interruption: his time as an infantryman during World War II. He was to carry this war experience around with him for the rest of his life, often telling war stories full of odd, unassuming details and spiced with a generous sense of the absurd" (13). (Reference: Charles Hatfield, <em>Hand of Fire: The Comics Art of Jack Kirby</em>. Jackson: UP of Mississippi, 2011.)
