Just picked up the ninties revival series of hers, when compared to the rest of marvel's late ninties fare, its pretty good stuff XD.
Wasn't she some sort of archie comics wanna be back in the golden age?

Now Archie Comics I know about.....

I've only got the one Hellcat comic (which was under the 'Defenders' series) and it's obviously had quite the impression on me since I still remember it. We're talking circa 1982. I think the story was called "To the Devil a Daughter" 'cause it had to do with her trying to find her real father who was or wasn't Satan.

A friend of mine has one of those "Marvel Universe" tomes that has a write-up of all the characters. I've checked this out and got a bit of an insight into the character of Hellcat.

But I'd like to get my hands on some more comics about her. She seems like an interesting character.

But don't lets confuse me as a comic-book collector. I house-sit my friend's place from time to time and he's got a shitload of comics (mostly Batman and DC stuff) and I get my fix at his place.

Marvel comics never really managed to maintain the brilliance of its 60s heyday. In the seventies, the British comic 2000AD brought a whole new vaguely punkish attitude to the super-hero, with the creation of characters such as Judge Dredd and Halo Jones. It was also a breeding ground for a new crop of writers - headed by Alan Moore, who went to America in the 80s to create arguably the greatest comic series ever written: Watchmen, which called into question the whole basis of the super-hero - especially in its character Rorschach - a kind of semi-psychotic Batman:

(Rorschach, from Alan Moore's Watchmen.)
 


Stan Lee has never been willing to adapt to the innovations brought about by figures like Moore and as a result Marvel increasingly seems stuck in a bit of a timewarp. Still to this day though, its roster of classic characters is without equal in the world of comics.

Ditko era Spiderman aside, my favourite Marvel character is definitely Lee and Jack Kirby's the Silver Surfer - probably the most beautiful and complex (for Marvel) super-heroes in the companies history.

He recieved a revamp in the 80s by the French artist Moebius which I always think is one of the best of the marvel 're-imaginings'.

 


God, I could waffle on about this kind of thing forever.

I never really got into the whole Hellcat thing, but that's probably because I was never a big fan of the team up thing, although I sort of loved the way she had these mad little cameos in other heroes' stories.

Yeah, he's a weird one in that he never really had the popularity I'd expect. I know he was one of Stan Lee's fave characters and he kept pushing him in a bid to increase the character's fanbase, but for some reason he never quite caught on with the public. Weird really, considering bollocks like Thor was flying off the shelves. Saying that, I read somewhere that he gained a cult following amongst surfers in California - but that's hardly surprising I suppose.

Storm was really sexy, definitely. Although my heart will always belong to Judge Anderson, I'm afraid.

If you're older than 13 and still need books with pictures, then there's something wrong with you.
