Patsy Walker
Created by writer Stuart Little and artist Ruth Atkinson, Patsy Walker first appeared in "Miss America Magazine" #2 (cover-dated November 1944), published by Marvel precursor Timely Comics. Redheaded Patsy Walker, her parents Stanley and Betty, her boyfriend Robert "Buzz" Baxter, and her raven-haired friendly rival Hedy Wolfe appeared from the 1940s through 1967 in issues of "Miss America", "Teen Comics", "Girls' Life", and the namesake teen-humor series "Patsy Walker", as well as in the spin-offs "Patsy and Hedy", "Patsy and Her Pals", and the single-issue "A Date with Patsy". Attesting to its quiet popularity, "Patsy Walker" (along with "Millie the Model" and "Kid Colt, Outlaw") was among the very few titles published continuously by Marvel from the 1940s Golden Age of Comic Books, through Marvel's 1950s iteration as Atlas Comics, and into the 1960s Silver Age of Comic Books.
