Number 2335: Purple Tigress and the Flasher

Purple Tigress wears yellow, with a purple cape. She has tiger stripes. Okay, say I. The purple cape makes her Purple Tigress. Then I read about Purple Tigress in Public Domain Super Heroes. She only appeared in two comic books: Fox’s Jo-Jo Comics #7A, from 1947, where I got today’s post, and All Good Comics, no number, a one-shot Fox giant comic from 1944, three years earlier. The 1947 story may have been in inventory for a couple of years before being worked into the issue of Jo-Jo.

No writer is listed for Purple Tigress, but the Grand Comics Database credits A.C. Hollingsworth with the artwork. From Jo-Jo Comics #7A (1947).*
