*Marvel: Many folks say – probably with justification – that Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat, was a taste-alike rip-off of DC’s Catwoman, created to give Spider-Man a ‘beloved enemy’ vibe and increase the romantic tension in the series. Probably true; but nevertheless, the Black Cat rapidly stepped away from her derivative roots, primarily owing to her low-level probability manipulation – subconsciously causing ‘bad luck’ for people who opposed her – and the fact that although she’s frequently done heroic and noble things, she’s never completely shed her criminal ways. This copy of the Black Cat’s debut in Amazing Spider-Man #194 comes from the non-distributed ‘wilderness years’, so there are no pence variants of this issue. This cents copy, no UK stamp or overprint, is FN+, light wear at lower right cover corner, on sale at £90. SOLD
