Synopsis for "Tigra - the Were-Woman!"

As the Cat, Greer Nelson is struck by a new Hydra weapon that will condemn her to death by radiation poisoning. To save her life, her mentor Dr.Tumolo takes her to the hidden lair of the Cat People to have her reborn as Tigra, the Were-Woman. Hydra attacks again, abducting Tigra, Tumolo, and the Cat People in an effort to gain the secret of their ultimate weapon. Jack Russell, the Werewolf, happens to be passing by when Tigra is taken and joins the fight. In order to defeat Hydra, Tumolo releases their final secret upon them, the same Black Plague that the Cat People had released and cured centuries ago.

Notes

Continuity Notes[]

  • This issue is the first appearance of Greer Nelson as Tigra. She appeared last as the Cat in Marvel Team-Up #8. She appears next in Monsters Unleashed #10.
  • Joanne Tumulo, Mal Donalbain and Shirlee Bryant appear in a recap of events which were chronicled in The Cat #1.
  • Jack Russell appeared last in Werewolf by Night #18. He appears next in Werewolf by Night #19.
  • Tigra's origin has been recounted many times since this issue, beginning with Marvel Chillers #3.
  • Despite both races being humanoid cats, the Cat People who first appeared in this issue initially did not have any connection to the Cat Demons from the Land Within who had so recently made their first appearance in Fear #21-22. This lack of any intended link is supported by the different origins that were provided for each race and the noticeably different designs for their heads and legs. The idea that the two races actually did have a common origin was first revealed over eight years later in an "Untold Tale of the Marvel Universe" narrated by the Watcher in What If? #35. A more detailed and slightly tweaked version of that origin was told to Tigra by Grigar in West Coast Avengers (Vol. 2) #6.

Publication Notes[]

  • This is the first and only issue of the series. The numbering for this series continues as Giant-Size Werewolf.
  • This issue includes a text article written by Roy Thomas entitled, "Waiter, There's a Werewolf in My Soup!"
  • This issue includes a text article by Tony Isabella and Gil Kane entitled, "Tigra's Year".
  • Giant-Size Creatures was one of Marvel's few "Giant-Size" projects that did not correspond to an ongoing comic book series.
