    So essentially, Patsy was an Archie Comics character in a very Archie Comics setting. Even to the point of being the 'Betty' to Hettie's 'Veronica' in a comedic love triangle. This was, of course, back in the Golden Age and when she transitioned into the Silver Age of Marvel, those original stories were retconned into being in-universe comics of a fictional version of Patsy. However, still interesting to see such an Archie-type character transition into a Superhero character.
    It's like how Hank Pym, in his first appearance, was just a scientist character in a sci-fi adventure one-off. But when Superheroes started to become popular again in the late 50s-early 60s, he appeared again now re-invented as a Superhero.

    Such a great character with an outside the comics history as rich as an inside the pages history. From an Archie knockoff, to a Marvel superhero, and into Marvel's attempt at a Vertigo line. She is the glue that connects so many different aspects of Marvel Comics.
    So as long as you've done one redhead superhero how about a video on RED NORVELL, the red headed Thor stand in.

    When I was a kid the Patsy comic was still around thanks to yard sales and some friends older sisters' abandoned collections and even caught my eye for a second when she (and the Whizzer) cameoed in the FF wedding. But it read as an Archie ripoff to me (with Patsy switching for Archie and maybe Betty) so I didn't give it a chance. But once she showed up as Hellcat (especially once a Defender) she became one of favorites back then. I definitely regret that long interval; I can only imagine how shocking and exciting it'd have been to be a fan of her series and get to watch the transformation from that view-point. Great recap of her history and cool editing with the comic panels.

    The art work for the earlier appearances for Patsy Walker reminded me of the early Archie Comics of the late 1940's. And I remember how Millie the Model Comics went from a Romance Comic in the 1960's, to a Archie-like humor comic about the mid-1960's to the later 1960"s, and I believe early 1970's.

Most of the time, she was self contained and didn't seem like she inhabited the same world as the Marvel Superheroes until they folded her in with them in the 70s.
      But in terms of sales, she was quite popular, even to the point of outselling Archie at times. And when all of the other teen romance books dropped out of sight, the only ones left were Archie and Patsy Walker.
