Origin not gripping like Ms. Marvel. Collect for Marie Severin art.

Not a bad comic book as far as origin stories go. Not as gripping nor as interesting as Ms Marvel, Red Sonja nor Spider-woman, all of whom were introduced during the Bronze Age of comics. The bad guys put together this costume and test out girls to see if they can handle it. Unfortunately a few die in the process. A clerk in their employ thinks there is some monkey business, tells our heroine, Greer Grant, about it and just as the clerk is about to call the cops, the bad guys blow up the place. With only one costume left, our heroine dons it and gets rid of the bad guys for good. I like the cover, decent art. Art by Marie Severin, editor Roy Thomas, writer Linda Fite. The Cat issue 3 is known for having a Frank Miller letter in the letter col. Check that out, too. Lasted four issues. The Cat later became "Tigra." Near Mint Overstreet guides at $50.
