Heroine Holidays BLACK CAT "A Day with Linda Turner: Christmas Party"

Not the Marvel anti-heroine, but a Golden Age actress/stuntwoman turned heroine...
...sharing Yuletide festivities with fellow (real life) movie and radio celebrities!
(See if you can name them all!)
Illustrated by Lee Elias (with Bob Powell doing the celeb caricatures), this gentle tale from Harvey's Black Cat #21 (1950) features Groucho Marx, Jack Benny & Rochester, and Bing Crosby along with Linda (Black Cat) Turner and her somewhat dense boyfriend Rick Horne!
When the story was reprinted (in black and white) in Recollections' Original Black Cat #8 (1992), it finally got the cover...
...which it didn't in the original!
BTW, the cover was by Harvey Comics Editor/Art Director Ken Selig, who had been working for Harvey since just after the original publication of the story in 1950!
