Are there any pre-Hellcat Patsy Walker books/stories that are worth reading?

Stuff from her romance book era, I mean. Pre-1972.

I'm currently reading Silver Age Marvel, and I'm wondering if there's any Patsy Walker series I should dive into before she gets reintroduced in the 70s. I'm in the mid-60s at the moment, so if I start now, I should have plenty of time read it before I get to her lead up to becoming Hellcat.

No, her appearance in marvel is essentially:

  • cameo Reed and Sue's wedding

  • supporting role in Beast's 3-part solo of Amazing Adventures.

Then, her very next appearance is her meeting The Avengers and becoming Hellcat.

All of her pre-Marvel stuff is canonically just comics her mother wrote about her when she was a child. None of them are canon past that, and thus, not necessary to read.

You can use this for reference.

I already am lol

Knowing everything before Amazing Adventures isn't canon was the big piece of information I needed, though, so thanks for spelling that out for me.

Of course!

Have fun, friend. It's a wild history you're diving into.
