Today, let's look in the back pages of Cat-Man and pull out an odd little character - Volton! (no r)
Joe Kubert has been around so long that it's easy to forget that he was once just another artist, yet to work out his iconic style. Volton was one of his early training grounds, running as a back-up feature for 5 issues Cat-Man, #s 8-12 back in 1942, just 2 years into his professional career. At six pages per story, that's only 30 pages total, so let's run them all, eh?
Kubert's Volton got a cover introduction on Cat-Man #8, but with seemingly random-generated colours with no relation to his costume inside the comics:
Notice that last blurb had no mention of another episode, enjoining the reader to watch for the next issue of the comic instead. So far as i know, Volton never adventured again.
