Comment:	I love the Harvey comics and Black Cat is my favorite Harvey character. Among my favorite Golden Age artists is Bob Powell. Lee Elias is the artist I most associate with Black Cat, but it's nice to see a Bob Powell Black Cat. Other decent costumed heroes and heroines here too! Thanx, yoc, and a big thanx to the original scanner. (The scans are somewhat smaller than optimum, but OK.) Tars
