Black Cat Comics 7, Page 21

A Joe Simon page from Black Cat Comics 7, published in 1947. This page is from the 10-page story "Topsy Turvy Tavern" featuring Duke of Broadway. Based on research that I've done on the page, Duke of Broadway was co-created by Simon and Jack Kirby, making his first appearance in 1946's Boy Explorers Comics 1.

Being that it's a page from the Golden Age, it's naturally bigger than pages in later comics. What was surprising to me was how thick and sturdy the art board is. In the placeholder for the title, issue, and page at the top, it's noted as a magazine board. On the back of the page is writing that I can't make out. (See attached file.)

Attached is a copy of the final published page in full color.
