The Black Bat - The First Black Bat

The First Black Bat

He appeared in Black Bat Detective Mysteries, a short-lived pulp which saw six issues, all written by Murray Leinster (a pen-name of William Fitzgerald Jenkins), between 1933 and 1934. He was a man called Black Bat in the way Simon Templar was called the Saint; unlike the Simon Templar books, however, none of the Black Bat stories ever mentioned the character's real name.

Famous quotes containing the word black:

    “why
    Do our black faces search the empty sky?
    Is there something we have forgotten? some precious thing
    We have lost, wandering in strange lands?”
    —Arna Bontemps (1902–1973)
