A bawdy but non-pornographic, tongue-in-cheek secret agent comics feature, "Pussycat" was launched following the success of Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder's color comiics feature Little Annie Fanny, published in Playboy magazine from 1962 to the 1980s. Long-established comic-book artist Wally Wood — whose own similar 1968-1974 Sally Forth would run in armed services publications — drew layouts for the 1965 premiere, in which Pussycat, a secretary for S.C.O.R.E. (Secret Council of Ruthless Extroverts) is recruited to fight the agency's archenemsis, L.U.S.T. Artist Jim Mooney provided finished pencil art and inking over Wood.

| - A bawdy but non-pornographic, tongue-in-cheek secret agent comics feature, "Pussycat" was launched following the success of Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder's color comiics feature Little Annie Fanny, published in Playboy magazine from 1962 to the 1980s. Long-established comic-book artist Wally Wood — whose own similar 1968-1974 Sally Forth would run in armed services publications — drew layouts for the 1965 premiere, in which Pussycat, a secretary for S.C.O.R.E. (Secret Council of Ruthless Extroverts) is recruited to fight the agency's archenemsis, L.U.S.T. Artist Jim Mooney provided finished pencil art and inking over Wood. The feature premiered in Male Annual #3 (1965), and ran in at least Male Annual #4-5 (1966–1967), Stag Annual #3 (1966), and in issues of Men and Stag. As Mooney recalled in 2000, "[I]n the early '70s, I did work for Goodman's men's magazines, a strip called 'Pussycat'. Stan [Lee|] wrote the first one I did, and then his brother Larry [Lieber|] wrote the ones that came later". The later strips abandoned this "ditzy spy" format and turned her into a savvy investigative reporter, who continually managed to find herself in situations where her clothes were torn off, voluntarily removed, or otherwise caused to "be elsewhere" by various events and situations. Usually, this was played to her advantage, as she used the distractions to stop the nefarious plots of the bad guys and get her story. Other talent from Goodman's Marvel Comics who contributed to the Pussycat series include writer Ernie Hart, and artists Al Hartley and Bill Everett. Contributing separately was the notable "good girl art" cartoonist Bill Ward.
