Catwoman By Jim Balent

Presented for the first time, witness the start of CatwomanÕs first ongoing series drawn by Õ90s superstar artist Jim Balent, written by comics legends Jo Duffy and Chuck Dixon in CATWOMAN BY JIM BALENT BOOK ONE. Selina Kyle may seem like a wealthy and beautiful socialite by day, but at night she becomes the worldÕs greatest thiefÉknown as Catwoman. What starts out as a job for Gotham CityÕs newest crime boss, Bane the man who broke BatmanÕs back, ends up being the start of SelinaÕs journey to becoming more than a thief. It may even turn her into the last thing she ever thought sheÕd be--a hero. CATWOMAN BY JIM BALENT BOOK ONE collects CATWOMAN #1-13.

Catwoman struggles to survive and escape from a mission which she is blackmailed into undertaking by a secret government agency.

Our gal Catwoman is turning 80 next year (and looking very good, if we meow say), and DC is celebrating with nothing less than with a huge soiree, invite only, packed with creators who mean the most to her and to whom she means the most! Stories featured in this 100-page spectacular include a tail-sorry, tale-that takes place at the end of the Brubaker/Stewart Catwoman run, in honor of artist Darwyn Cooke. Plus, Catwoman is caught by an exotic cat collector, runs into a wannabe thief trying to prove himself as her apprentice, encounters a mystery involving memorabilia from alternate continuities, and of course some Bat/Cat fun.

When Catwoman is captured by a secret government organization and blackmailed into committing an impossible robbery, she is caught in a no-win situation: the infamous feline burglar must steal an ancient relic from a small European country or suffer the detonation of a cyanide capsule that has been implanted in her arm! Realizing success will lead to her termination by her captors, Catwoman will have to use her ingenuity to turn the tables against the government agency and save her own life. Collects Catwoman #14-24 and #0, Annual #2 and Showcase Õ95 #4.

Selina Kyle is a dangerous criminal whose claws aren’t to be crossed, but she’s also Gotham City’s Robin Hood, using her unlawful talents to help those in need. Thisrich contradiction has made Catwoman one of the most complex and compelling antiheroes in comics, and one of the most enduring villains in the Dark Knight’s rogues gallery. This volume collects Selina Kyle’s greatest tales from Batman #1, #355; Catwoman (1989) #1-4; Catwoman (1993) #54; Catwoman (2002) #25; Catwoman Secret Files and Origins #1; and Superman’s Girl Friend, Lois Lane #70-71.
