Man in Black

The Man in Black appeared in Harvey Comics during the 1940s, drawn by Bob Powell. He was dormant for several years until he showed up again in 1957. The 1957 Man in Black chummed with The Weaver and Venus, the Goddess of Love, to tell stories of those moments where a person's life inextricably changes.

At the time I bought this I thought it was pretty cool. The house ad, which appeared in Harvey Comics at the time showed a cover that had not been finalized when the ad was pasted up. But, seeing the ad was enough to intrigue me.
