Golden Age Ferret (Leslie Lenrow)

First appearance: Marvel Mystery Comics #4 (February 1940)









And from the Marvel Mystery Handbook: 70th Anniversary Special (2009),

I've recently become aware of this character. I have to say, I like him, but I doubt he'd been a success if revived today. I don't see The Ferocious Ferret being the first title in a successful franchise.

I first saw him when he was used in The Marvels Project (from Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting, which I read mostly as a tpb), but I think he got killed off after a couple of issues.

From Marvels Project #3:

I read that! The Ferret must have made absolutely no impression on me at all!
