Cat-Man Comics is one of the comic series with the most complicated numbering schemes in history. After issue #5 of Crash Comics Adventures, the series was renamed Cat-Man Comics, featuring the adventures of Cat-Man and other superheroes.
The series started with issue #6 and kept on going until issue #11, when the characters were first sold to Holyoke, where they continued with the comic and the numbering. After 11 more issues, it was sold back to Helnit, and at that point they released issue “v3#8”, as a code for what would have been issue #18. The weird numbering lasts until issue #26, after which, the comics were published simply as “#27” until issue #32, which marked the ending of the comic.
Under Helnit Publishing, the series ran for 22 issues, with a little hiatus from 1942 to 1943, where there were 11 issues under Holyoke.
