The
Black Bat themed cover to this book was added to the
Lucky Comics page above a couple of weeks ago when the book was first being promoted. That caused me to think I'd already mentioned it on the blog and therefore forget to announce its release. So...
Here it is!
Lucky's issues are only eight pages long and this one features two four-page origin stories including, obviously, The
Black Bat's.
This is the 1930s version of the character and as usual, Lou Mougin wrote the story and the art is by Lucky Comics regular contributor Eric Douthitt.
It's a fairly faithful origin with a couple of twists.
Can't help but wonder what the future might bring for this series. We know that a current-day Bat book is coming. Will his origin be revealed in his own series or will it be featured in an issue of Unknown Tales down the road? Since the
Black Bat character is popular for Lucky, I doubt it will be long until we find out.
