☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Up Periscope," Melody finds herself the unexpected subject of a very unusual admirer—one who's been spying on her from the bushes with a periscope. It turns out the culprit is a little boy, utterly smitten by her charm, whose infatuation takes a surprisingly literal turn when Melody rewards his devotion with a kiss. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—pencils and inks by DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida—this 1977 issue captures a sweet, whimsical moment in the Pussycats' world, all on a 30-cent cover by DeCarlo and Lapick.
In "Up Periscope," Melody finds herself the unexpected subject of a very unusual stalker—someone lurking in the bushes with a periscope, determined to catch every glimpse of her. It turns out the culprit is a shy little boy utterly smitten by her charm, and when Melody finally confronts him with a playful kiss, the moment takes flight in the most literal sense.
In "Sacrifice Fly," Jo finds herself caught between loyalty and temptation as Alan warns that Josie might not be able to resist Alex’s wealth—enough that Valerie, fearing for her friend, makes a surprising offer: she’ll take on Alex’s world of luxury, if it means sparing Josie the choice.
In "Skin Game," Melody stumbles into a bizarre moral panic over fake fur, accusing Josie and Alexandra of endangering synthetic creatures like "orlons, dynels, and nylons." Her outrage leads her to confront Mr. Cabot with a passionate plea for the rights of synthetic animals to live freely.
