1st app of Black Cat (Felicia Hardy); Al Milgrom cover; Keith Pollard/Frank Giacoia art; Letter page includes an alternative cover for #194 and Spider-Woman #9 by Keith PollardFirst appearance of the Black Cat in "Never Let The Black Cat Cross Your Path!" Part 1 of 2. Script by Wolfman. Art by Pollard (breakdowns) and Giacoia (finishes). Cover by Milgrom. One of the landmark issues of the Amazing Spider-Man series. The dazzling debut of the Black Cat! The wall-crawler has spent the first 193 issues of his title chasing super-villains; but tonight he's going to kiss one instead! Wow! Does the web-slinger stand a chance against the beauty and charm of Felicia Hardy? Not when the alluring cat has his tongue. And maybe later his heart. A terrific issue! Cameo appearances by Aunt May, Betty Brant, Ned Leeds, Harry Osborn, Flash Thompson, Mysterio (in civilian clothes), and the burglar. Notes: The Black Cat is the creative highlight of the Wolfman-Pollard run on the Amazing Spider-Man title. Cockrum designed the cat's costume. The letters page includes an alternate cover (for issue 194) by Pollard. It also includes an alternate cover to Spider-Woman 9 by Infantino.
