American Comics Update: The Bute Collection: 2 1960s Annuals starring Patsy Walker
*Teen Humour/Funny Girls: Billed at various times as ‘America’s Sweetheart’ and ‘The Girl Who Could Be You’ (some imagination required), Patsy Walker had a very long career in Timely/Atlas/Marvel before she later became the Avenger Hellcat. Her avenging days were far into her future at the time of these comics, when she was simply a gal out for fun, fashion and boys. Two bumper annuals for your pleasure from the Bute Collection this update. and we’ve checked — all pin-up and fashion pages are present and complete.
