The Black Bat in The Blackout Murders: Wildside Pulp Classics

In July 1939, Thrilling Publications introduced a new Black Bat in a magazine called Black Book Detective. Written mainly by Norman Daniels under the house name G. Wayman Jones, the stories describe the crime-fighting career of former District Attorney Anthony Quinn, hwo became the Black Bat after being blinded and disfigured by acid (an idea borrowed a few years later by DC Comics for the creation of Batman villain Two Face). "The Blackout Murders" begins with a World War Two blackout test. When the city's lights go out, only the Black Bat can keep America safe from "The Patriot" - a diabolical killer demanding millions in ransom! Ripped from the pages of the March, 1942 issue of Black Book Detective, here is THE BLACKOUT MURDERS! (Part of the Wildside Pulp Classics line.)
