The Adventures of Pussycat was a one-shot comics magazine that reprinted the risqué, black-and-white feature "Pussycat" that ran throughout various men's adventure magazines published by Martin Goodman's Magazine Management Company in the 1960s. The feature's creative staff came largely from Magazine Management's sister company, Marvel Comics, which is listed in the indices as publisher. Publication history Men's magazine feature A bawdy but non-pornographic, tongue-in-cheek secret agent comics feature, "Pussycat" was launched following the success of Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder's color comics feature "Little Annie Fanny", published in Playboy magazine from 1962 to the 1980s. Long-established comic-book artist Wally Wood — whose own similar 1968-1974 Sally Forth would run in armed services publications — created 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 feature premiered in Male Annual #3 (1965), and ran in at least Male Annual #4-5 (1966–1967), Stag Annual #3 (1966), and in issues of Men and Stag. As Jim Mooney recalled in 2000, "[I]n 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 [Lieber] wrote the ones that came later". The later strips abandoned this spy format and turned her into an investigative reporter, who continually managed to find herself in situations where her clothes were torn off or voluntarily removed for various reasons. Usually, this was played to her advantage, as she used the distractions to stop the nefarious plots of the bad guys. Other talent from Goodman's Marvel Comics who contributed to the "Pussycat" series include writer Ernie Hart, and artists Al Hartley and Bill Everett. Contributing separately was the notable "good girl art" cartoonist Bill Ward. Comics magazine Eight five-page episodes were collected in a one-shot, black-and-white comics magazine published by Marvel Comics. Cover-dated October 1968, it is titled The Adventures of Pussycat on its trademarked cover logo and simply Pussycat in the copyright information in its postal indicia. The cover price of 35 cents matched that of the black-and-white Marvel magazine The Spectacular Spider-Man, released the same year but with an original, newly published story. The one-shot has no ads except a back-cover advertisement for Jade East cologne. It also contains an unclothed but non-nude centerfold. In addition to seven reprinted stories, the comic included an original five-page Pussycat
