The Adventures Of Pussycat




.]]
Eight five-page episodes of the bawdy but non- Pornographic , tongue-in-cheek Secret Agent strip were collected in a one-shot, black-and-white Comic Book dated Octover 1968. The cover price of 35 cents was the same as that of the black-and-white Marvel magazine '' The Spectacular Spider-Man '', released the same year but with an original, newly published story.

Talent from Goodman's Marvel Comics who contributed to the "Pussycat" series included Writers Stan Lee , Larry Lieber , and Ernie Hart , and artists Wally Wood , Al Hartley , Jim Mooney and Bill Everett , as well as famed " Good Girl Art " Cartoonist Bill Ward . "The Adventures of Pussycat" is similar to Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder 's color comic strip, " Little Annie Fanny ", published in '' Playboy '' magazine from 1962 to the 1980s, as well as Wood's own 1968-1974 " Sally Forth ", produced for Armed Services publications.

Wood drew the 1965 premiere, in which Pussycat, a secretary for S.C.O.R.E. (Secret Council of Ruthless Extroverts) is recruited to fight the agency's archenemsis, L.U.S.T.

The one-shot has no ads except a back-cover advertisement for Jade East Cologne , and also contains an unclothed but non-nude centerfold.


QUOTES

Artist Jim Mooney : " the early '70s, I did work for Goodman's men's magazines, a strip called 'Pussycat'. Stan [Lee wrote the first one I did, and then his brother Larry wrote the ones that came later". [http://www.twomorrows.com/comicbookartist/articles/07mooney.html
