Who was the strange menace with eerie powers that sprang from the netherworld? The evil schemes of this weird criminal plunge Tony Quinn into a welter of mystery and action!
The Black Bat carried on his battle against crime for fourteen years, but he did not do it alone, not even before he put on the mask. Aggressive District Attorney Tony Quinn found himself a victim of crime when a gangster doused his face in acid, blinding Quinn seemingly permanently. Even though Quinn’s sight would be restored with a few extra perks by an experimental surgery, he still struggled with adapting to his new situation and was assisted in this in part because of his valet, Norton ‘Silk’ Kirby.
As an ally to a Pulp hero, Silk Kirby proves unique in a couple of ways. Although he is not the first valet to throw his fists in support of his boss in pulp fiction, Silk is not a genius in some scientific endeavor or necessarily an expert in any given field. He is a man who, thanks to the intervention of Tony Quinn before becoming The Black Bat, is given a second chance and as a sort of atonement, contributes to his employer’s crusade against evil. What makes Silk stand out even more is that he was given the second chance because he had been a criminal and attempted to rob Quinn. Seeing something of value in him, Quinn convinced him to leave crime behind. Following his accident and surgery, Quinn decides to don the mantle of The Black Bat. Silk Kirby’s assistance and knowledge of the underworld and his effusive charm, his ability to blend in with criminals, become invaluable to his boss’ war on crime.
Thrill to The Faceless Satan, originally published in Black Book Detective #52 July 1942 and read with two fisted excitement by award winning voice actor Milton Bagby.
