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.

Stuff I found on my own
Detective Dan: Secret Operative 48 (1933) - Humor Publishing - Has a text story The White Cat Murder.

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...
