Men die on schedule when vicious foreign spies make a grim attack on our American defenses! Follow the Black Bat and his aides on a perilous trail as they challenge the might of a sinister alien power!
Norman Daniels, writing as G. Wayman Jones, understood the audience which he wrote The Black Bat for very well. Hungry for escapism from their daily lives, he gave them a character that stages his crimefighting in over-the-top fashion, from his black bat like costume to his often full out assault on criminals of all kinds. He also created a character which, even though Quinn was a costume wearing attorney with lots of money, the common man could identify with, if for no other reason than The Black Bat pursuing street level criminals whose exploits filled daily headlines. Even with that, however, some of the foes that The Black Bat encountered bordered on being potential super-villains.
In at least two instances, Tony Quinn encountered foes who had uncanny abilities to predict victims to murders that had not as of yet happened. With the world being on the verge of and then in the midst of full-on war, he also swapped bullets with saboteurs with massive plans to cripple the United States. True evil also confronted The Black Bat more than once, including an enemy who took over a hospital and used it for vile experiments, on hopeless victims and even his own men. And, in one instance, Lucifer himself seemed to take on Tony Quinn, practicing devilish crimes. As always, though, The Black Bat uncovered the man behind the ruse and brought crime to its knees, as he always did.
Thrill to The Black Bat and the Trojan Horse, originally published in Black Book Detective #42 November 1940 and read with two fisted excitement by award winning voice actor Milton Bagby.
