Catwoman #41

Catwoman herself dominates this January 1997 cover, launching forward in her purple suit with hair wild and expression fierce, surrounded on all sides by a horde of grasping, decayed zombies — all beneath the blood-red proclamation "Gotham City of the Dead." Jim Balent's cover work gives the scene a vivid, kinetic energy that makes Selina look every bit as dangerous as the undead closing in around her. It's a striking visual promise for "Stolen Yesterdays," brought to life by the creative team of Doug Moench and Jim Balent.
