Catwoman #4

Catwoman's cover tagline says it all — "They'll Never Take Her Alive" — as Selina Kyle, in her signature purple catsuit and cowl, blazes away with an assault rifle amid a storm of gunfire and explosions in what looks like a jungle firefight. Jim Balent's dynamic pencils and inks capture her mid-action, hair flying, bullets streaking past her from both directions, with a small inset portrait of her masked face anchoring the upper left corner. Jo Duffy's "Life Lines, Chapter Four: Full Circle" promises a story every bit as intense as this November 1993 cover suggests.
