Maybe this Black Cat and Casper the Friendly Ghost.
Holy cats!
LOVING the Golden Age characters! You always manage to show the best images! Bravo!
As for Black Cat and Casper the Friendly Ghost, both are owned by the same publisher, Harvey Comics, in addition to being from universes / realities with very different proposals. Not that this has prevented this blog before (lol)... It would be interesting to see Black Cat vs Black Cat from Marvel Comics.
This is a fun pairing! I hope you can find enough images of this Black Cat to make this a recurring partnership. Most especially (and probably most challenging), I'd love to see a follow-up cover with these two in their civilian identities. (We haven't had a lot of covers, even in the real world, with superheroes in their civilian clothes.)
I also second the Linda Turner vs. Felicia Hardy pairing.
In finding Black Cat's listing on the Public Domain Super Heroes site, I also found that Harvey had a spy character named Agent 99. I think you can guess where my mind went with that one!
I always loved this look for Wildcat when I first started reading about Golden Age heroes. His cowl must have some sort of neck brace in it to be in line with his back muscles, and the real eyes have to be somewhere in the grey are. (Or Irwin Hansen never really cared much about anatomy).
Is Ted's gaze aimed where I think it is?
^_^
@Simreeve: why do you think nobody else male ever noticed that Linda Turner and Black Cat were the same height and had the same shade of red hair. ;-D
@Ross: seriously, though? The implied McCarthyist angle would make for a great plot device if this team-up were ever published as a real-world crossover. That's why I'm one of the few people who did _not_ object to the Cold War setting for "Indiana Jones (yada-yada-yada) Crystal Skull."
American society changed after WWII, so it makes sense that Indy would have to, as well. English translation: his body had gotten oldre and (a bit) heavier, so he wasn't as light-hearted as he was during the Never-Never Thirties.
@Cary: It's a shame that George Lucas has decided to dispose of George Hall's portrayal of the (at the time) modern-day, elderly Indy. It would've been interesting to see how Indy lost that eye, but now few enough people even know about question that it may never be answered (retconned away along with everything else about those scenes).
@Bob Greenwade: I just blame it on a timeshift caused by that interdimensional wormhole at the end of "...Crystal Skull."
@carycomic: her costume is 100% modest compared to Tigra's "costume" @ STF #2551!
@Ross and Anonymous: I still think a Wildcat/Marga the Panther Woman team-up would be doable (given the "Ted Grant"connection).
Didn't they both also ride motorcycles?
@Cary: Maybe. But I'll be among those going gaga if the next Indy movie includes that incident.
@Anon@1:34: Don't worry about Tigra. Cheetah is the least-dressed character in comics. (Even more than Cutey Honey! Boy, what a face-off between those two would be like....)
@Anon@5:12: I noticed that when I went to look for info on Ms. Turner. It would make a good basis (IMO) for a future meeting between these two.
@Bob: you mean, getting clawed out by a brainwashed Black Cat?
;-)
@Cary: ???
this is a very interesting point. copyright on 'characters published in comics'. despite the list you indicate in your comments, it is worth clarifying that the character 'black cat/Linda Turner' is not in the public domain. neither were the publications between 1940-50.
with the publication of 'Black Cat The Origins # 1' in 1995 by Lorne-Harvey, where "Harvey revives its Golden Age superhero Black Cat for a new generation. In addition to reprints of the original hero's classic 1940s adventures, the reboot introduces a new Black Cat, stuntwoman Kim Stone, with art by comics legend Murphy Anderson ". https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=496361
The Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA) of 1998 extended copyright terms to life of the author plus 70 years and for works of corporate authorship to 120 years after creation or 95 years after publication, whichever end is earlier. Copyright protection for works published before January 1, 1978, was increased by 20 years to a total of 95 years from their publication date. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Term_Extension_Act
@Bob Greenwade: As in, the STF-verse explanation for how novagenarian Indy lost his eye. Making him look like an anorexic Nick Fury!
@Bob & Cary: I'd buy a team-up story like that in a flash!
Speaking of which...I'd also settle for an Indiana Jones/Golden Age Flash team-up.
Ah, well! Half a wish (sort of) granted is better than none, I suppose.
Is nobody but me interested by the fact that they're at the 1939-40 New York World's Fair...?
The scenario does sound more post-war, it's true. Of course, on Earth-2, the Trylon and Perisphere were left standing, and were converted into the headquarters of the All_Star Squadron. Perhaps after the war it became a museum. Just a thought.
