Interior image from the 2025 Vintage Superheroes Calendar by Asgard Press

Cat-Man Comics #31; Cover Art: L.B. Cole; Continental Magazines, Inc., June 1946.

The superhero Cat-Man first appeared in Crash Comics Adventures #4, published by Frank Z. Temerson’s Tem Publishing Co. in September 1940. The comic told the Cat-Man’s origin story, in which infant David Merrywhether’s family is killed deep in the Burmese jungle, and David is raised by a tigress who teaches him the ways of the big cats. Upon reaching adulthood, his adoptive tigress mother leads him to civilization, where he is appalled by crime and violence. He assumes the identity of Cat-Man, dedicated to fighting the good fight for mankind in a series of catlike costumes, utilizing his tiger-like super strength and agility, night vision, and ability to be resurrected from the dead through the legendary “9 lives” of cats. Merrywhether is eventually joined by a female sidekick who calls herself “Kitten” and makes herself useful in the struggle against evil as a trained acrobat and fighter. The character of Cat-Man was created by comic artist Irwin Hasen, who also worked on Green Lantern for DC Comics in the 1940s. In Cat-Man Comics #31, Cat-Man’s nemesis Dr. Macabre fakes his own death to evade justice, stealing a mind control serum to create minions to do his bidding, including Kitten. Cat-Man must save the day, and his sidekick. The cover for issue #31 was created by L.B. Cole, a comic artist with a distinctive style featuring bold lines and primary colors. His doctorate degree in anatomy and physiology informed the highly detailed musculature in his rendering of superheroes. Cole also worked on comic interior art, and acted as an editor for Holyoke Publications, which took over the publishing of Cat-Man Comics in early 1942, then lost the character when he reverted to Temerson’s Continental Magazines in 1943. Other artists contributing to issue #31 include George Gregg, which is a pseudonym for Japanese American artist George R. Mabuchi, who was active in the 1940s and 1950s, and Nina Albright, a female comic artist who got her start during World War II when publishers began to hire women to replace men who had been drafted.
