Catwoman #5

The cover tagline says it all — "Nobody messes with her friends" — and Catwoman is making that point with her fists, a gun in hand, and sheer fury as she tears into a "Lost Souls" gang member against a brick-wall backdrop, with fallen figures scattered at her feet. Jim Balent's cover art bristles with kinetic energy, capturing Selina mid-brawl in her purple costume, wild-haired and ferocious. With a story titled "Nun Better!" and Jo Duffy at the helm, this December 1993 issue promises Catwoman at her most fiercely protective.
