Indexer Notes
Inker Wally Wood reportedly inked the cover figure of "The Cat" totally nude causing penciler Marie Severin to have to go back and white out details of the female anatomy so that the suit would look to be skin tight, but not skin. Reported in "Marvel Comics: The Untold Story" to be a problem throughout the interior artwork as well.
Beware the Claws of... the Cat!
