Any info on Marvel Comic's "Pussycat" magazine??

So is this thread dead?

I just remembered about this thread(about 7 months or so after discovering that comic and making my first post here) and I thought somebody here might have discovered some new pages or something since then...turns out that's not the case :/

Hello folks, this is my first post here. Today I came into temporary possession of a near complete batch of Pussycat strips that an elderly friend of mine dutifully cut out of magazines during the 1960's and early 70's. While he didn't date all of the stories, a good number of them are and a few of them identify which magazine they were removed from. Also in this folder is a copy of the October 1968 Adventures of Pussycat Magazine.

 

Amongst the tear sheets there were duplicates of 2 of the stories contained within that magazine. The rest were not. According to the lists and bibliographies I've found on this thread and at Wikipedia there are 65 different strips. However, while I am missing 2 complete stories and the last page of one in this batch, I have discovered a story that I don't find in either place, bringing the total count to 66. It is from April of 1968 and is titled "The Capricious Capers Of A Curvy Cutie-Pie".

 

I'd be happy to make a trade of scans of that story for the two I'm missing, 3/1968 "Mischievous Memoirs of a Merry Little Miss", 1969's "Look Ma, I'm Flyin" and the last page of 10/1968 "Mixed-Up Model". Thanks in advance!

I can send you a scan of the final page of Mixed-Up Model. I don't have digital copies of the other two that you need, unfortunately.

 

Does your list say which magazine the April, 1968 story that you've located came from? We're also trying to find out which story was in the June, 1970 issue of Men magazine.

Sadly, the only story where my friend identified the specific magazine was "The Newest Merry Misadventure Of Our Cuddly Little Cutie!" which is 1967 Male Annual. Any other point of reference included is only the month and year. The art for "Capricious Capers Of A Curvy Cutie-Pie" appears to be by Bill Ward . I'd love to get that last page of "Mixed-Up Model" and if anybody has scans of the two stories I'm missing could you be so kind as to send them to me. I'd really appreciate it. I'm very happy to reciprocate with any stories needed including the above.

In honor of the new info. provided by WP (of the missing 66th story, is there any more? Which story is in the June 1970 issue of Men? I know there's lots of reprinted stories not listed), I've update the list. Let me know if you see any errors or omissions. Anyone using this info., please reference this forum thread so others can see how this info. came together. A few of us put in lots of time and financial investment purchasing these mags. and compiling this info. to make this as complete as it is.

I think my friend was pretty anal in buying the magazines as they came out in order to clip the Pussycat's. I mean he got 64 out of 66. Also, in 1969 wasn't January a skip month for Pussycat? I think it might be ok to make the leap that there may have been a skip month in 1970. It just seems odd to me that out of all the missing months, my guy and you guys would be missing the same June 1970 issue. Coincidence, perhaps, Pussycat? perhaps not?

I was told by sellers on eBay a couple of years ago that the April, 1968 and January, 1969 issues of Male magazine had no Pussycat stories. The owner of the 1968 issue was wrong, so I'm starting to wonder about January, 1969.

 

I've long suspected that the June, 1970 issue of Men contained the original printing of It Happened in Paris. All of the other annuals in 1970 had reprints, but not Men. I've never found a copy available anywhere to prove my suspicion, though.

 

I'm sorry that you're missing the Con, Mr. Cent. It's good to see you posting here again!

I'm on that forum and didn't realize there was more than one thread involving Pussycat. My guess is that the guy who started the thread you linked to didn't know that Wikipedia took your info. I have attempted to remedy the situation in that forum's original Pussycat thread as of yesterday:

 

http://marvelmasterworksfansite.yuku.com/topic/5648/Pussycat

 

I apologize for my wayward colleagues. I wouldn't have known either if I hadn't stumbled blindly into this forum having done a search for all things Pussycat!
