Catwoman #3

The cover tagline says it all — "Some people are dumb enough to get in her way" — and Catwoman looks absolutely ready to prove it, launching herself claws-first at two armed men amid a tropical backdrop. Jim Balent's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, capturing Selina in mid-leap over one bloodied opponent while a second raises a baton in desperate defense. With Jo Duffy's "Life Lines Chapter Three: Shadow of the Cat!" continuing the story inside, this October 1993 issue makes a compelling case that Catwoman is a force nobody should underestimate.
