Catwoman #38

Catwoman perches with cool self-possession atop a massive, splintered wooden structure on Scott Morse's striking cover for this February 2005 issue — her black suit and yellow-tinted goggles making her look entirely at home among the wreckage. The "Knock on Wood" cover tagline hints at rough terrain ahead as the series kicks off a three-part story arc with the creative team of Morse, Paul Gulacy, and Jimmy Palmiotti. It's a confident, stylish package that captures Selina Kyle at her most composed, even when the world around her is literally falling apart.
