Josie and the Pussycats #45
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Decisions Decisions," Josie and the Pussycats face a lineup shake-up when Alexandra demands the band rename itself after her—or leave her out altogether. With Alexandra unwilling to compromise, Josie and Melody bring in a new girl, Valerie Smith, to fill the spot, setting the stage for a fresh chapter in the group’s musical journey. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature art and Rudy Lapick’s inks, this 1969 issue features a cover by Dan DeCarlo.
When Alexandra demands the band rename itself "Alexandra's Cool Time Cats" or quit, Josie and Melody face a tough choice—until Alexandra introduces Valerie Smith as her replacement, turning the group’s lineup into a surprise twist.
In "Pussy Footing," Josie, Melody, and Valerie take the stage in their brand-new Pussycats costumes for their first big concert—only to face a feline-fueled fiesta when Alexandra casts a spell that silences their voices and turns them into actual cats who can only meow. The trio must find a way to save the show before the magic takes over for good.
