Catwoman #33

Selina Kyle is in serious trouble on the cover of this May 1996 installment — a snarling, red-masked figure has her in a fierce chokehold against a gritty industrial rooftop backdrop, her clawed glove straining as she fights back. Jim Balent's cover art crackles with raw tension, all bold color and dynamic anatomy that made this mid-'90s series a visual standout. With Chuck Dixon scripting a story titled "Devil Does Your Dog Bite," whatever confrontation awaits inside promises to be every bit as intense as the cover suggests.
