    Cover by Lou Ferstadt. Stories and art by Don Rico, Charles Quinlan, Manny Stallman, Tom Van Buren, Rudy Palais and Bob Fujitani. Sometimes listed as Cat-Man Comics Vol. 3 #1; numbering on this series is strange and inconsistent. The adventures of Cat-Man and other early superheroes from the Golden Age of comics. Cat-Man and Kitten face Paperboy, an adult newspaper vendor who snaps and becomes a supervillain after being called "boy" too many times. Medieval kitchen servant Ned becomes the mysterious Golden Archer and joins the Merry Men as Robin Hood's sidekick. The Hood faces a villain whose every unlikely venture meets with success, because he has sold his soul to the Devil. Plus the debut of Leatherface, not a chainsaw-wielding maniac (the horror classic was still 30 years in the future), but a 16th century Frenchman who calls himself "champion of the damned." Cat-Man & Kitten; The Deacon: The Man Who Was Death; Leatherface: Count Vultiere; The Hood: The Man Who Sold His Soul to the Devil!; You're the Murderer!; Rufus; Little Leaders: The Tokyo Termites; The Golden Archer. 52 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
