Many things were different in 1944: F’rinstance, the cultural touchstone of Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror classic, ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ was still several decades in the future when Holyoke Publishing gave us this hero. Appearing as a backup in Cat-Man Comics V3 #1, the adventures of Leatherface were a well-drawn Scarlet Pimpernel riff set in the 16th Century. This is Andre DeLeboef’s only recorded adventure, even though the last page promises additional adventures to come. It’s fascinating to think of what might have happened in a world where masked swashbuckler Leatherface became a household name…

Just didn’t think of it. :)
