rare, Charles Quinlan cvr; bondage splashAmong the rarest and most desired of all Golden Age small-publisher series, Catman is like catnip to rarity hounds: low print runs, small numbers of surviving copies, and delightfully naive and boisterous art. This extremely rare issue boasts what may be one of the most iconic images of the Catman and Kitten, reused often in fanzines and Golden Age retrospectives at the dawn of comic collecting.
Charles Quinlan's legacy in the hallowed halls of Golden Age comic art was sealed with this iconic cover, showing the underground fave, Catman, in all his heroic glory. The prismatic color scheme has endured the decades to retain its punch all these years later, and the majority of the trouble spots on this cover are well away from its memorable central design, making this book both attractive and affordable for its next owner.
