Mooney, Ward and others continued the feature after Wood left Marvel/Goodman. Wallace (Wally) Wood is world famous for his sexy girl comics, whether in EC titles like Weird Science, his 12-year run on MAD, in the pages of Vampirella, Claws of The Cat or for his own creations: Sally Forth, Cannon, Dragonella, Far-Out Fables, Malice in Wonderland, The Wizard King, Animan, et al, ... and, in 1965, Pussycat, agent of S.C.O.R.E! Wood was the perfect talent to create the sexy girl strip Pussycat, his answer to both the '60s spy craze and, former collaborator Harvey Kurtzman's Little Annie Fanny which, was proving very popular over at Playboy. Though Wood quickly moved on to other projects, his sexy spy-girl creation has had a enduring life, with Pussycat adventures appearing in a long list of Martin Goodman men's magazines from 1965 into the 1980s — most notably by the late, great Jim Mooney.Vanguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773974178380702157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-35299460364227603472008-04-05T07:25:00.000-04:002008-04-05T07:25:00.000-04:00jim mooney's dead?!! when?!! man, that's a shame...jim mooney's dead?!! when?!! man, that's a shame. i always loved jim's supergirl over any and all of the other incarnations of the maid of steel. there was something so. . .well, wholesome, if you like, about her, kind of the way a supergirl should be. the recent efforts by dc to "slut up" their female characters rally annoys the crap out of me ( do NOT get me started on mary marvel ). <BR/><BR/>and pussycat was excellent. see, jim could do sexy without it being slutty for even a moment. the man was, i think, a greatly under-rated talent. i, for one, am saddened at the news that he's gone.<BR/><BR/>keep up the good work, matey.the mighty joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14694379053584869837noreply@blogger.com
