In "The Magic Is Gone," the Pussycats trade their usual style for a bold fashion statement, heading to Paris to model gowns—only to surprise everyone by strutting the runway in sneakers. Written by Abby Denson and brought to life with vibrant art by Fernando Ruiz, inks by Rich Koslowski, and colors by Barry Grossman, this 2004 issue captures the group’s signature charm with a playful twist. The cover, by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith, perfectly frames their stylish defiance.

The Pussycats trade their usual style for a Parisian fashion show, where they’re expected to strut in elegant gowns—except they’ve got a sneaker game that’s anything but runway-ready. With confidence and a dash of rebellion, they’re determined to make their own statement, one step at a time.
