Spectacular Spider-man #9: my first issue of PPSSM was #10, the second part of this story, so I'd like the first part. Also, I like White Tiger.
Claws of the Cat #2: I've always like Greer Nelson.
Maggie the Cat: just out of curiosity.
Cat-Claw: I've come across some of these here in Croatia, written in their original Serbian, and I've always been curious about the stuff that was translated into English.
I'll take a buck's worth of Julie Newmar!
Charlie Horse 47 is hard to disagree with, but for my picks I'd go with: Spectacular (I always liked White Tiger); Maggie the Cat (she was pretty cool in the Jon Sable comic); Hellcat (I like Patsy's character, generally); and maybe that old Harvey Black Cat ... I really want to see some of her "judo tricks"!

No catty remarks will be forthcoming from me today, only praise! Great lineup of four color felines, Martinex1! I never knew Marvel's Black Cat ever had her own title...
I'm going to go mostly with humor today: Josie and the Pussycats, Felix the Cat, Linus the Lionhearted (what a fun cartoon that was, mostly forgotten by many, but very clever). But lets add "Tiger Man" from Atlas for a dose of superheroics. Never read it, so it should be investigated!
Where's all the usual participants??? Cat got your tongue???😹🙀😺
Oh golly, why do Cat-themed heroes never resonate with me? Other than Black Panther, they always leave goin' "enh". Still, I'll take Cat-Man (and Kitten!)simply for their obscure Golden Age roots-- pretty sure they were a public domain property before this. And we'll try Atlas' Tiger-Man just to help that struggling imprint out a bit. And. . . Catwoman/Wildcat, 'cause that has a lot of potential (even though I don't know anything about its execution). Annnnnnd--- and. . . waitaminit. . . Wildcat? Doesn't he have anything of his own in here?? Okay, find me a solid Wildcat solo or team-up appearance, and I'll lay down my dollar!

Okey dokey here's my 4 feline picks in random order - Claws of the Cat (gotta love the orginal), Black Panther (c'mon it's T'Challa as if you need a reason), Spidey featuring the White Tiger (loved this kung fu character) and Thundercats 'cause I used to watch that cartoon!
- Mike 'feline frenzy' from Trinidad & Tobago.
Has anybody read Tiger-Man? I've always been curious about the title. The costume - in my eyes - is so strange but it intrigues me. I need to read more Atlas Seaboard. But I think this one may have Ditko art so I've steered away. Likewise I'd like to read the Harvey Black Cat. I am honestly surprised White Tiger has not been in the spotlight or headlined more as everybody seems to love him and the costume. And I don't think Wildcat ever had a solo comic - i may be wrong but I couldn't find it. I'm sure he was in a Brave and the Bold but not solo.
I do collect the Aristocats and its spinoffs (O'Malley and the Alley Cats + Aristokittens) as well as Gold Key and Charlton Top Cat.
There, I've said it :)
Never quite a fan of the cat persona, but I'd certainly take Charlie up on Julie Newmar...
I do like the Aristocats - I think that was an underrated Disney animated feature. It was one of my favorites; used to have some issues but no longer.
Edo mentioned Cat-Claw. That book has an interesting history and a very Marvel-like heroine. Her origin is that Carol Connor was scratched by an experimental cat and then irradiated; she is more mild-mannered in her civilian guise, etc. I thought some of the art and the costume had a "90s" flair despite being an early 80s book. I've only read a couple issues though. It was interesting in the interpretation and European perspective of Marvel. I don't know however if the Serbian script was drastically different than what I read; maybe a loose "translation" changed much of the concept.
HB mentions that he was never into cat-themed characters much. I tend to agree. The vast majority are unpowered (or low-powered) acrobatic fighters. Unless the writing is great, the exploits seem kind of redundant and low-key. I had hope for the Cat but that series was bad. And I liked Hellcat on the Defenders but I don't think she could support her own run without interesting supporting characters. Cat Man was really good in Secret Six - but again another team book. Black Panther stands out - but again maybe I like him better because he is an Avenger but he also does have a very unique and complex "civilian" life as King of Wakanda.
