I'm actually going to do another post with Cat-Man, as Pierre was very taking with the character and has sketched up a Bob Morane version of Cat-Man. I'd like to repost your information with a link to your site if I may. :)Jim Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006833955333061262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-53714976180094276642009-05-18T10:10:00.000-04:002009-05-18T10:10:00.000-04:00Cat-man got a different origin later on. From my s...Cat-man got a different origin later on. From my site: Issue 27 gives a second version of the origins of Cat-Man and Kitten. In this one, Cat-Man's mom is is the best animal trainer in the country. As such, as a kid, he's completely at home with the big cats who accept him as their own. When his mom is killed under mysterious circumstances, he grows up to follow in his mother's footsteps. He also learns the ways of the cats, able to move as stealthily as them. One day he finds an orphaned baby in the pen with Tamara, his favorite cat who seems to accept the baby as well as she accepts David. The only name on the tag is "Rosetta" so he names her Katie "Kitten Rose" Rosetta in honor. The steps from there to them actually becoming the crime-fighting duo Cat-Man and Kitten are unclear though. The story does mean that David Merryweather had raised Kitten from baby to young teen, thus may be a bit older than your average mystery man of this time.cash_gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071052539938367439noreply@blogger.com
