did CATMAN Comics fall out of popularity?

[Cat-Man_America]

Sorry to see this, Bat-Man. Not as bad as it could have been. It does seem like Cat-Man is something of a fad-like title. I love the covers as much as anyone but it is very obscure relative to well known titles.

 

 

I don't consider Cat-Man fad-like, but perhaps because it's a rather eclectic title runs are difficult to put together which discourages many folks from trying.

 

On a less serious note, David Merryweather was frequently spotted around SDCC this past weekend, so I'm not so sure that Cat-Man is all THAT obscure.

Well done, sir.

You are also selling during San Diego weekend...I always liked the LB Cole covers toward the end of the run. Catman 31 has got to be one of my top favorite GA covers.

 

And its one of my favorite scans too.

The Deacon story in issue 13 was about moral issues like drug abuse but usually the Deacon was more of an Exorcist.

I <3 my #32, but it's the only issue I wanted.

Stunning cover; GA classic, IMO.

I love when I see coverless comics for sale with the description "classic cover!"

(Not for that book in question, just in general. Cracks me up.)

Cool. I had quite a few tire kickers for my low grade catman 28 I had at sdcc but no one pulled the trigger

Catman is popular to me.

Cat-man must have had either low print runs or poor distribution, probably both.

 

I've only seen # 24 , v13#3 (May 1944) for sale once, and have never seen many of the # 15-24 issues for sale ever.

 

Here is a picture of # 24 from the Heritage archives .

 

 

Weird how 25, 26a and 27 are almost common...and too bad those issues sport the lamest covers of the whole run.

[G.A.tor]

here's my 24

I heard from multiple catman collectors when I first started putting the run together that 15 was the toughest... xavier logan told me, I believe, that in 11 years of collecting catman, he had never seen a 15 for sale...

 

I managed 2 copies my first month, so felt very fortunate, and passed the second copy to boardie bodhee, but in the past few years, admittedly have never seen another for sale

[Scrooge]

# 15 is conspicuously absent from these shots ... so unless I didn't pull it out or it was not in the collection, re-affirming its toughness

 

[G.A.tor]

here was my undercopy of 15 that I traded away when I got my 2nd copy (no scan)

[Scrooge]

Now, I wonder what "desruction" is
