Our first Women in Fights volume was published in 2007. Fans around the world ask for more of the cat fight oeuvre of Messrs. Bilbrew, Stanton and Glen.
From about 1959 to 1963, Peerless Sales in New York City published more than 250 four-page prints, showing mixed and girl/girl catfight stories as comic strips. Half a century later, the precious paper has become difficult to find. The images have become so rare that booksellers offer copy-machine copies for sale as though they were original offset prints. In this collection, My Friend - The Enemy, Discipline Dame, Battling Bondage Babes, The Dancer & The Wrestler and Slave Ship were first published by Peerless and reprinted by others.
In the 1980s Mr. Stanton went into the publishing business, offering his own images and the art of others. While many of his products were produced on copy-machines, he also sold printed 22” x 25” sheets that contained 12-page comics, which works out to six full-size pages to each side. (RED's 12-page Battlin' Brat was included in Women in Fights, Volume 4). Two 12-pagers are included in Volume 10: The Meanest Bitch in the Ring and Pajama Party.
This collection is top-heavy with Stanton works. Down and Out in Beverly's Gym (narrative text omitted) and Ripping Catfight are pencil comics he published himself.
Fights are set in bedrooms, rings, gymnasiums, and living rooms. There's punching, but not boxing. There's grappling and wrangling, but without the formality of wrestling.

Many of these fights develop in a dispute about who's the better athlete. Others involve a peeping Tom and competition for a man.
Combat pictures show kicks, scratching, punches, arm locks, arm twisting, chops, scissoring legs, swinging elbows, pins, flips, bites. hair-pulling and straddles. Clothing is torn, faces are bloodied. Women fight women in most contests, but in a few, males get whupped.
Some narrative text and dialog balloons were re-positioned to allow female figures to fill the screen from top to bottom. Some figure features were repeated, enlarged. Not all panels have complete borders.
Brightness, contrast and levels were adjusted and shadows reduced to reveal inked detail. Except for a few small panels, images transposed to ebook format with clarity.
About 300 pages. Eleven stories. Nudity.
