Favourite characters/stories in girl's comics

[RuthB]

I was pretty curious about that Lucky Charm about Catch the Cat. I thought it was the Cat Girl character from the Sally comicsat least it looks the same in the cover. Anybody have a scan of some of the pages?
Thanks. (mm... I'm new here, I introduced myself on the general comic section).

Hi Ruth, welcome to Comics UK!

In answer to your request here's a page from Bunty's 'Catch the Cat! ', which featured the wartime adventures of Marie Bonnet in occupied France:



Whereas this is Sally's modern-day superheroine 'Cat Girl', whose magical costume enabled her to fight crime:



Neither of whom should be confused with this cat-burglar in Sandie's 'Nat the Cat' of course - or with Nat himself, who really was a cat!



...Simples!

(Is anyone prepared to speculate on the respective artists by the way? For what it's worth the third one looks very much like the late José Casanovas to me)

[Tonibunny]

That is so cool! That Catch The Cat seems to be drawn by a different artist to the one I'm used to (who I think was Robert MacGillivray but I'll have to check).

...Come to think of it here's yet another variation on the 'cat girl' theme from a 1983 issue of Bunty: they certainly seem to have liked them! (And would I be right in seeing it as more work from the brush of Mystery Artist No.3 I wonder? )

CAt Girl was done by Giorgio Giorgetti. I did an article about it here:

The third one I know who he is (he did many works in Spain) but I am at work now and can't check it (can't remember his name, too early), maybe in a break later.

I'm afraid that I'm pretty sure The Claws of Clara isn't by Mystery Artist #3. I've seen work by the same artist around though so I'll try to collect it together so we can have a Mystery Artist #4 thread


(edited, originally said Cat Girl instead of the Claws of Clara by mistake)

[RuthB]

Tonibunny, Cat Girl is by Giorgio Giorgetti. Of that I am pretty sure. It took me two years to find out but I was told by someone who had access to the originals. Cat Girl (CAthy) was drawn by Giorgio Giorgetti.

[Tonibunny]

Sorry Ruth, I meant to say The Claws of Clara, not Cat Girl there It's too early in the morning, my brain hasn't kicked in yet!

[RuthB]

Neither has mine

Need some food pronto!!!

[RuthB]

Yes, confirmed: the last one (Nat's) is José Casanovas.

If anyone wants some translation relating the comic posts from my blog or any info, please do not hesitate in asking me, I will be more than pleased. And actually I might use some of the images above if you don't mind to illustrate an article about the Cat Girl for October Magazine Foroesther. And I offer those pages to you if you want to write any article about comic artists or characters (preferably the ones in girl comics). I will then translated and publish them in our online magazine.
