Looks like curtains for Kitten as Catman fails to stop his foe from pouring hot molten glop into the feline fraulein's enclosure. Not to worry – the Cat Crusader is bound to save his kitty companion in true funnybook fashion. As Will Eisner once said, "We have this history of impossible solutions for insoluble problems." Eisner was talking about Jewish history, but his words are equally applicable to the Golden Age tradition of hairbreadth escapes.______________________________________________________________
