Notes - Untangling Pussy's first appearance is quite the perplexing puzzle.  She appeared in a few unnumbered titles in 1944, including The Book Of Comics, All Top Comics, and Everybody's Comics. It gets more confusing when the story in Everybody's Comics is listed as a reprint from The Green Mask #13, which didn't come out until the summer of 1945. From what i can tell, The Book Of Comics went on sale first, but what story was inside is unknown. It was likely reprinted in one of the ongoing titles, but which story? (it was 5 pages if you're feeling particularly detective like)
