Highly scarce 8x10-inch black and white portrait from The Wild World of Batwoman (1966), boldly signed in blue felt-tip pen in the 1980s. In good condition, with gentle edge wear. Katherine Victor is a bona fide cult horror, sci-fi and fantasy icon, unforgettable as the Spider Woman in Mesa of Lost Women (1952), the imperious Dr. Myra in Jerry Warren's Teenage Zombies (1959), Diane's mother in Invasion of the Animal People (1959), Nadja in The Cape Canaveral Monsters (1959), Connie's sister in Curse of the Stone Hand (1964), Lila in the Lon Chaney, Jr. and John Carradine flick House of the Black Death (1965), Mrs. Vernon in Creature of the Walking Dead (1965), the titular sex-crazed superhero in The Wild World of Batwoman (1966), and Sheila Frankenstein von Helsing in Frankenstein Island (1981). This is just the fourth autograph of the actress we've ever encountered.
