The sexy, mysterious feline fatale known as Catwoman has been
a hero, a villain, and everything in between during her nearly
65 year history. Both a rogue and love interest for the Dark
Knight, Catwoman has remained one of the most popular characters
from Batman's world - and like her namesake, has lived numerous
lives...
Spanning
over six decades as Batman's greatest nemesis/love, Catwoman
is one of comics' most popular and enduring villainesses.
Nine Lives of a Feline Fatale collects together the
entire spectrum of Catwoman's adventures - from her first
appearance as a jewel thief in Batman #1 in 1940, to
her modern day role of 'champion' of Gotham City's East Side
in a story from the current Catwoman series.
Featuring
classic 'tails' from some of the greatest comics creators
in the business - from the man who started it all, Bob Kane
(the creator of Batman) to acclaimed modern day writers
such as Doug Moench and Ed Brubaker.
There's
something here for everyone. My personal favourite though
was Ty Templeton and Ricky Burchett's Claws. There
was something about the crude, almost childlike illustrations,
not to mention the tongue in cheek script, that really stood
out from the other stories presented here.
It
also represents a mini history lesson in how a character has
evolved over the years to fit in with social changes within
society - some of the early strips are almost laughably out
of date when compared to today's more intelligent comics,
but that doesn't make them any less readable.
A
fantastic collection.
