Title: Cat cruelty
Post by: trixip on May 12, 2015, 03:50:45 AM
Hi there !

I'm a french student in art school and I need your help.  :)
I'm looking for some comics book where cat are bullied, tortured, killed... In fact, i'm working on a essay about cat cruelty in pop culture. I need some references for my work.

I know you're a big community of comic's fans and I have not enough culture in this domain for helping myself. So I hope you can help me !  ;D

Thank you so much,
Best Regards,
Adeline

PS : sorry for my english.

Wow, this is a first.

Sorry, I can't recall anything like that in a comic.

Professor H over at the Comic Book Plus forum has found a number of comic adaptations of Edgar Allen Poe's The Black Cat:

Yellowjacket Comics #1 (September 1944) - Charlton
Nightmare #12 (April 1954) - St. John
Classicos De Terror #14 (1961) - Editora Outubro
Tales Of Terror (February 1963) - Dell
Creepy #62 (May 1974) - Warren
Nightmare #20 (August 1974) - Skywald Publications

Stuff I found on my own

Detective Dan: Secret Operative 48 (1933) - Humor Publishing - Has a text story The White Cat Murder.
Prize Comics volume 3 #4 (#28) (February 1943) - Prize - Text story The Black Cat has a cat killed.
Weirdo #21 (Fall 1987) - Last Gasp - The Black Cat Bone about how to sacrifice a black cat.

I remember reading a comic where a town kills a cat and cats gets revenge. but I can't remember what comic it was in.

A horror story from WEB OF MYSTERY #7 (Ace Magazines,  to be found here) springs to mind:

"Mark of the sinister cat":     
Ross Bridger visits a balkan land and a spooky castle. There he meets Chorta, a she-devil who can transform into a cat. Chorta wants Ross to be her prince of evil. Ross escapes but is followed to the United States. In a showdown on a stormy night he can kill the cat with a magical dagger.

But it's a magic cat...
