Thanksgiving Turkey NIGHTCAT Part 1

Here's a never-reprinted Thanksgiving Turkey from the 1990s...

...combining Footloose, Flashdance, and Frankenstein, with then-trendy references and clothing, produced by some rather interesting big-name creators!
 
Because this is a comic book?
Be here next week when we discover how amazingly-accurate Jaqueline's premonition is!
Plotted by Barry Dutter & Jim Salicrup
Scripted by Stan Lee
(yes, that Stan Lee!)
Penciled by Denys Cowan
Inked by Jimmy Palmiotti
With Dazzler achiving some sales success, Marvel decided to try again in 1991, this time following-through with the idea of using a real songstress performing in costume that they wanted to do with Dazzler.
In partnership with RCA Records, Marvel hired model/singer Jaqueline Tavarez to embody the character.

TIGER GIRL II "Part 2 - When the Pussy Cat Pounces - Watch Out"

 ...well, that covers it pretty well, so let's dive in, true believers!

Unfortunately for fans of campy superheroines and spies, there was no "next issue"!
Writer Jerry (Superman) Siegel and artist Jack Sparling co-created this Silver Age heroine who appeared in the only, never-reprinted issue of Gold Key's Tiger Girl (1968) and then disappeared into limbo.
BTW, Jack Sparling also illustrated another one-shot heroine for Gold Key..tv's Honey West!

TIGER GIRL II "Part 1: Cunning Trap of the Wolf Hound"

What if...a co-creator of Superman created a super-heroine?
She'd probably be just like this one-shot heroine from the end of the Silver Age of Comics!
Well, now you know who she is and how she came to be.
But, aren't you wondering who the heck "Wolf Hound" is, and what he has to do with this story?
Be here next time for the answers to that and other questions...
Co-created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Jack Sparling, our heroine's one appearence was in Gold Key's Tiger Girl #1 (1968).

LADY SATAN II "Son of Lord Lucifer"

Lady Satan, the demoness possessing Anne Jackson's body forced her to mate with the Devil, thus making her pregnant with his progeny.
But Anne doesn't intend to allow the child to be born...even if it costs her life...
We'll never know what happens next, since this never-reprinted tale written by Al Hewetson and illustrated by Pablo Marcos from Skywald's b/w magazine Psycho #19 (1974) was the last Lady Satan story published!
