Perhaps it didn`t hit off so well back when I was growing up, is a misnomer -- but it`s a classic now!

At the end of 1, Greer was alone (Shirlee dead, Tumulo dead, Donalbain dead, etc.). Then in 2 Tumulo not only resurfaced, but turned into an invalid Greer had to watch over.<br /><br />I've never heard that story about Wood's cover.

She may be better known as Paty Cockrum--yep, the late Dave's widow. <br /><br />Interesting how Marvel lagged behind DC in terms of headlining their heroines. Testing the waters for the femme comics in Groove's post was the 8-issue Black Widow feature in Amazing Adventures(1970). The Widow's solo feature was a misguided mess, despite the talents of John Buscema, Gene Colan, Roy Thomas and others. In the meantime DC had spotlighted Wonder Woman, Supergirl,and Lois Lane in their own comics/stories for a number of years; also, relative newcomers Batgirl and Rose and the Thorn enjoyed their own features.Sharonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-32969893888939232302009-09-14T14:45:31.722-04:002009-09-14T14:45:31.722-04:00Brilliant!

Always loved The Cat, and thought she deserved a longer life, and didn't like Tigra at all! Fun feminism / relevance (especially naming your heroine after Germaine Greer!) & and Marie & Woody on top form. That's my favourite Woody cover ever actually, not least because he presented into the Marvel offices with pubic hair & nipples on Greer, prompting Marie & John Romita into a hasty 'touch-up'job...pete doreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004574271734256770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-58080257479804660922009-09-14T10:57:26.424-04:002009-09-14T10:57:26.424-04:00Hi Groovy one!

I really loved the cover of that first issue as well. It was a groovy montage piece, just like the classic cover to Luke Cage Hero for Hire#1 & A Man called Nova! <br /><br />You should do a article on all the similar covers as well one day. The Cat cover & Cage covers back grounds were even dark red I believe. so they looked even more similar. I loved Hell Cat in the Defenders & Tigra in the Avengers as well. But I still missed the original Cat character.Mike Mikulovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13426364090992151914noreply@blogger.com
