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
Mystery Tales, no. 40
Description
An account of the resource
This issue of <em>Mystery Tales</em> was featured in an episode of the TV series <em>Lost</em> in 2008 ("Cabin Fever," Season 4, Episode 11). Along with that bit of strange coincidence, the issue contains a number of strange stories, including famed comics artist Steve Ditko's "March Has 32 Days," about an inspector who mysteriously relives a day so as to prevent a bridge collapse. The cover of this issue is drawn by Carl Burgos, who created the original Human Torch in 1939. As Sean Howe notes, "Burgos's low-budget primitivist style only increased the sense that the flimsy buildings, cars, and people the Torch encountered were hastily constructed only to be destroyed in short measure" (13). That same ephemerality applies to the floating "Hidden Land" on this cover. (Reference: Sean Howe, <em>Marvel Comics: The Untold Story</em>. New York: Harper, 2012.)
