Linda Fite is an American writer and editor who wrote the entire four issue run of the Marvel Comics series The Cat (1972).
Though she continually appealed to editor Roy Thomas for writing assignments,[1] from 1968–1971 she was given only short back-up features in The Uncanny X-Men and Rawhide Kid.
In 1972 she got her first offer to be a regular writer, on Claws of the Cat, an early and unsuccessful attempt to appeal to female superhero comic readers.
Fite wrote and illustrated a one-page story for an East Coast independent/underground comic published by Flo Steinberg, Big Apple Comix (Sept. 1975).
While serving as an assistant to Marvel editor-in-chief Stan Lee, Fite helped bring fledgling artist Barry Windsor-Smith to the company.
