PussyCat: Agent of S.C.O.R.E. "Mirthful Misadventures of a Naughty Nonsensical Nymphet!"

If Austin Powers had a sister in the Swingin' 60s, she would have been...
...our favorite, funtastic, femme Agent of S.C.O.R.E.!

This tale originally appeared in Stag Annual #3 (1966), but this is from the one-shot PussyCat (1968) that reprinted her stories from various "laddy" magazines published by Martin Goodman, who also owned Marvel Comics.
The writer and artist are officially-unknown, but the scripter is probably Stan Lee or Larry Lieber, and the artist(s) probably include Stan Goldberg, Al Hartley, and Bill Ward.

3-D SHEENA QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE "Sargasso of Lost Safaris"

Get out the red/blue 3-D glasses (red on the left, blue on the right)...
Cover art for the 1985 reprint by the late, great, Dave Stevens
 ...cause it's 3-D Week at all the RetroBlogs™!
This tale, penciled by Robert Webb and Inked by Ann Brewster for Jumbo Comics #87 (1953), was adapted from 2-D to 3-D for 3-D Sheena Queen of the Jungle #1 (1953) during the 1950s 3-D craze and reprinted (with corrected 3-D effects by Ray Zone) in 1985 (which is the version we're presenting here).

The Origin of the Golden Age Black Cat Conclusion

No time to talk, just dive in...
Well, that synopsizes what happened in Part One pretty well.
Back to the action...
The Black Cat WILL return in the near future!
Note: the scans for this two-parter were from microfiche instead of a scanned comic, so the quality isn't up to our usual standards.
(Of course, if someone has an unslabbed copy of this incredibly-rare comic and can either scan it or loan it to us to scan...)

TARA: QUEEN OF THE SPACE PIRATES in "Key of the Cuchin Van"

We continue the space-spanning saga of Tara, Queen of the Space Pirates with this tale from Wonder Comics #18.
There was no origin story, but the splash pages usually gave a brief set-up for new readers.
The Grand Comics DataBase lists Gene Fawcette, who did the two previous stories, as the penciler/inker, but it looks like fellow Wonder Comics artist Jerry Scott, who used a more standardized layout and looser inking style.

PussyCat: Agent of S.C.O.R.E. in "Merry Mixed-Up Miss"

Didn't know Austin Powers had a sister, did you?
Actually, he doesn't.
Pussycat preceded Austin by several decades, but we'll save the background for our next entry.
Enjoy this titillating tale, written by Stan Lee and drawn by Wally Wood and Bill Ward!
...for now!
But, Pussycat will return...
