Friday Fascist Fun THE COMIC STRIP CHARACTER CONSERVATIVES FEAR ABOVE ALL OTHERS!

"Republicans are a cowardly, superstitious lot!
So my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts!"

"I shall become a Childless Cat Lady!"

(With apologies to Bill Finger and Bob Kane for paraphrasing the origin of The BatMan presented in DC's Detective Comics #33, 1940) 
This character, who appeared in two issues of Centaur's Amazing-Man Comics during the Golden Age was a super-person with a difference!
How different?
Read on...

Cat-Man appeared only once more, three issues later.

Tarpe Mills, the writer/artist of this titillating tale, later created another, better-known, feline-themed comic character...Miss Fury, the first superheroine created by a woman!

BTW, despite Wikipedia's claim that Madame Fatal was the first transvestite super-hero, this Cat Man predates him/her by several months. (Amazing-Man Comics #5 was cover-dated September, 1939. Quality's Crack Comics #1, Madame Fatal's first appearance, was cover-dated May, 1940, over half a year later!)

CoronaVirus Comics AMAZING MYSTERY FUNNIES "Daredevil Barry Finn vs the Infectious Insects!"

One of a number of rich, handsome, heroic, layabouts who fought evil...

...because they had the wealth and spare time to do so!

This never-reprinted story from Centaur's Amazing Mystery Funnies V2N09 (1939) was conceived, written and illustrated by Tarpe Mills, one of the few female creatives working in comics before World War II put most of the male writers and artists in military service.

Tarpe's imagination also produced the The Purple Zombie, the original Cat-Man, and, most famously, Miss Fury.

Such "gentleman adventurers" as Barry Finn were popular in literature and media of the period.

Examples include The Saint, Lord Peter Wimsey, The Falcon, Boston Blackie, and Bulldog Drummond.

His nemesis, Zaroff (named after the villain of The Most Dangerous Game, but a scientist, not a hunter) constantly did typical mad scientist stuff which Finn would always thwart.

The brash young hero kicked butt for eight chapters, none of which has been seen since their original publication.

It may be time to change that...
