Did Catwoman actually ever wear that particular costume in the Silver Age? It's not the one she wore in Lois Lane #70, Batman #197 or Batman #210.
Perhaps they're using the same definition of "Silver Age" as the people who think Identity Crisis was a "love letter to the Silver Age," where the Silver Age lasted until the 1980s.

A random website claims she didn't go back to the dress until 1983. I don't know, but I do know she was still wearing her second Silver Age costume into the Bronze Age, as seen in Wonder Woman #201:

She goes back to the purple dress that she wore through most of the Golden Age in this 1975 issue: They even comment on it. One of her henchmen says "you went back to the old costume" and she says "It's back in style." But she goes back to the one she wore in the Wonder Woman comic book in Brave and Bold #131 in 1976: In her very next appearance (Batman #291, the first chapter in "Where Were You On The Night Batman Was Killed?"), she's back to the purple dress. She seems to have gone back and forth for a bit. I'm not sure when she went back to the purple dress for good.

Fwiw the Catwoman purple dress makes an appearance in 1967's World's Finest #169 (the first Batgirl-Supergirl team-up) courtesy of Curt Swan, although... ...as may have been discussed elsewhere on the CCF forums, this isn't really Selina

That B & B is another example of 'Bob Haney not letting facts get in the way of his story'.I think that's also the one that ignores the fact that Catwoman never committed murder.

I love Brave and the Bold #131, but Catwoman is definitely off-model. Three cheers for the Haneyverse! It's been a while since I read The Brave and the Bold #131 so I'm a little hazy on the details. I do sort of remember that she seems quite a bit more bloodthirsty than what I was used to in the 1980s. I may re-read it in the next few days.

However ... It's not Catwoman, it's Bat-Mite, and apparently he either prefers the purple dress or he doesn't know she wore a black cat-suit with pants for her return in Lois Lane #70. She wouldn't wear the green suit in Batman #197 until a few months after WF #169.

Get it now while it's only $20! Also: Awww. I was very, very young when He-Man came out. 4 or 5? Maybe? But I recall the cartoons.

Ordered this bad boy a couple of weeks back from my LCS and it finally came in today. I used the last of my store credit I got from some books I traded in to purchase it. Didn't know this was even out. Hmmm...I really wouldn't mind that. **eyes his bank balance**

Hmmm...I really wouldn't mind that. **eyes his bank balance** I was just going to get the Jim Sterenko collection which just included the ones he did but then I saw this and I had a bunch of credit so I decided to get this one instead. I've never read any of these either...but I'm sure I will love it.

I have a TPB of the Steranko stuff from Strange Tales already (which I'd sell if I were to buy this) and I also recall reading issue #3 of Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD as a B&W UK reprint back when I was a kid, but the earlier pre-Steranko stuff and most of the Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD series is unknown to me.

I had $20 in eBay bucks, I think I did pretty good.
Fantastic Exploits #18, 19 - Never even heard of this series before. I like the covers. One is an EC reprint, the other is TOR by Joe Kubert, both seem to be right up my alley. Looks like a low quality reprint, but that adds to the charm. I also got them for well below what seemed to be the going rate after minimal research.
Savage Sword Of Conan #5, 6, 20 - Didn't own any of these three issues. I have picked up a nice bit of SSOC recently though, so this just adds to the pile.
Nightmare 8/71 and 74 Summer Special - Pretty sure I don't own a copy of Nightmare yet, but I've had my eye on them.
All told I came out of pocket less than five bucks, under a dollar each with shipping included.

I asked my LCS to get me Love and Rockets V.1. They got me this instead.
