Cat & Mouse Debuts In Philbo Catalog in July
It’s the 36th anniversary of the independently-published Cat & Mouse series, and Silverline Comics is celebrating in a big way. The title returns for a celebratory mini-series from co-creator/writer Roland Mann, artists Dean Zachary and Barb Kaalberg, and colorist Kevin Gallegly. Mann worked with Zachary and Kaalberg on a number of titles for Malibu Comics. Kaalberg is the creator/writer/inker of “Divinity,” also published by Silverline.
“36 years is quite an event for an independent title,” co-creator Roland Mann said. “These characters have lived with me for all these years, and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to return to them.”
Cat and Mouse are street level heroes who operate out of New Orleans, a city that’s close to Mann’s heart. “They work in the gray areas of a unique city that’s known not only for its architecture, but its party atmosphere, its supernatural history, and its place in American history. I bring bits of that into this all-new mini-series.”
The upcoming series will focus on human trafficking storyline when Cat is called to find the runaway sister of an old girlfriend. Cat and Mouse are joined in this fight by a cast of eccentric Louisiana characters including a demon and a ninja. “Longtime fans of Cat and Mouse will recognize the demon from previous appearances,” Mann said.
In addition to his role as the founding publisher of Silverline, Mann has a long history of working in comics, including as an editor for Malibu Comics’
Ultraverse titles and later for Marvel Comics. He is also the host of Silverline’s “Silver Sunday” podcast on the Madness Comics Network. “I love talking comics, making comics, and talking to people who feel the same,” Mann said.
Cat & Mouse #1 will ship from Silverline in October 2026. It’s listed in Philbo Distribution’s current July solicitation catalog.
