Manic Monday--Marga Puts A Bite On Wildlife!!

You know whom we haven't checked in with for awhile?

Marga and her boy-toy, Ted Grant, have crashed their plane!

Uh-oh!

Holy pre-Code crap!!! Welcome to the working week!!

Does Marga have a pithy catch phrase after dispatching a panther with her bare teeth?!?

"There."

Man, you DO. NOT. MESS. WITH. MARGA.

From Weird Comics #13 (1941)

The Monkey-Rhino Team-Up You've Always Wanted!

It's been a while since we've checked in with Marga The Panther Woman. What's she up to?

Oh, just a bit of jungle bondage. What can you do?

Well, her pet monkey--who is named Chimp, even though he's not a chimp--is going to help her get out of this mess:

I love it when a plan comes together!

Jungle Justice

You know, we haven't checked in with Marga the Panther Woman for a while.

You remember Marga--"infused" with the blood of a panther, she's now got panther-strength, and other traits of a panther. She can stop charging rhinos! She can beat up weirdly drawn alligators!!

Ah, but what happens when she comes to America?

We begin as...

A tiger? In Africa?

Anyway, Marga rescues his butt:

So obviously...

Marga's job at the circus? Wrestling tigers!

Well, the act becomes a huge hit. But that just means they're making enemies!

First off, she repeatedly rejects Dr. Borgia's requests for a date:

Meanwhile, Marga's act is so popular that they're putting the rival Randler Circus out of business. So Randler tries to buy Marga:

This, of course, leads to the Doctor Doom/Sub-Mariner team-up of the Marga universe:

Man, there's a whole lot of blood fusing in this series! Still, the series is called Science Comics, so it must be an accurate representation of how the world works...right?

Well, they do that thing--put lion's blood into the tiger--and somehow, that makes him into a kill-crazy superbeast!

Warning...the following battle is NOT ASPCA approved.

Yeow!!

But Marga is not done yet!

Well, that's good--they're caught and arrested, right?

Uh-oh.

...must be a Florida court...

And just because...

Thus endeth the adventure!!

Manic Monday Bonus--How Do You Stop A Rhino From Charging?

Let's check in again with Marga, who has been thrown into the "rhino pit":

Damn, and the evil Dr. Cruor had spent so much money constructing a rhino pit as a death trap, too!!

But wait...

You, the story never does explain how the rhino got out of the pit...

Manic Monday--Does Whatever A Panther Can?

It's time for another adventure with...

Who?

It's true. Evil scientist takes pretty blonde nurse, puts so panther blood in her, puts her under his "Electrofuse generator," and, voila, Marga is a panther woman, with all the traits of a black panther.

What traits might those be, you ask? Why, this, for starters...

Yes, it is a little known fact that panthers can kick aside moving trucks. IT'S SCIENCE!!

And obviously, another of her panther-powers is to always let the man take credit for her work. "Good work, Ted"?!?!? He was the one who said you were licked!!!! Sigh...
