I've been seeing lots and lots of fairly handsome facsimile comics on the stands from Marvel and others. Dynamite recently published a facsimile of the first Vampirella magazine from Warren. Well, if we are doing facsimiles, why not a reproduction of one of Marvel's most offbeat magazines -- Pussycat.
This one was developed by Wally Wood and later produced by Bill Ward for some of men's magazines that Marvel's parent also produced. That sounds like stuff too good to remain hidden and this is one comic with its Bill Everett cover that needs a larger modern audience. Despite today being filled with "woke" folk, I''m all for a bit of this old-fashioned misogynistic Dadaistic entertainment!

ReplyDeleteThanks kind sir. I have already ordered a copy which will be in my sweaty mitts in a few days. You are a gent.

Damn. I've really got to get back to some of the old features. Mooney's Pussycat strips were one of the first things pulled for the old Blue Monday spot (Mooney was in that first group posted to lead into it) But we never got there.
ReplyDeleteBTW - pretty much all your topics lately are hitting right close to home. Enjoying that. (And it's helping to draw me out of the cave)
