The Cat #1 (Fite/Severin, Nov 1972). Wow, I really enjoyed this! Greer Nelson née Grant lets her husband pull her out of school. She’s frustrated and listless as a full-time wife, and the book never dares to explicitly challenge her policeman husband. It doesn’t have to. When he’s killed, Greer reconnects with a former teacher who grants her superior agility and intuition. This book won’t last long, and I’ve no idea how or when Patsy takes this suit from Greer. But for now it’s such a refreshing feminist perspective in Marvel comics.
