Jo Duffy in 1978, at age twenty-four. At the time she was writing Power Man & Iron Fist, while Archie Goodwin was writing Spider-Woman. “That’s just as well,” she said, “since no woman could write Spider-Woman the way she’s been established. She’s a bundle of male fantasies and fears about women.”
This bio mentions that she “looks forward to more writing assignments such as a filler for Ms. Marvel, her first assignment on a book based on a female character.” Did this ever happen?
Doesn’t look like it. Just a bunch of grunt work - bit part characters, like some Batman side-character called Catwoman...
Great woman
