☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis hardcover collects the 2002 prestige-format miniseries written and illustrated by Darwyn Cooke, serving as a prequel to his acclaimed run on the main Catwoman title. Set in the early days of Selina Kyle's career, it follows her as she assembles a crew for a high-stakes heist in the seedy underbelly of Gotham City, blending noir atmosphere with sleek, retro-style art. The story also introduces the character of Stark, a former flame, and explores Selina's motivations before she fully embraces her identity as Catwoman.
In "Book One: Selina," Darwyn Cooke crafts a taut, noir-tinged mystery where Slam Bradley follows a trail from Swifty's Pawn Shop to a brutal encounter with Falcone’s enforcers, uncovering a web of betrayal tied to a high-stakes heist. As Falcone’s men close in and a Canadian heroin dealer looms at the border, Slam races to piece together the truth—before Selina’s next move leaves him too late. The story, illustrated with Cooke’s signature precision and moody color work by Matt Hollingsworth, is a gripping standalone chapter in Selina’s evolving game.
In "Book One: Selina" from Catwoman: Selina's Big Score, Selina returns to Gotham after a failed job in Morocco, drawn back by the promise of a score too big to pass up. With help from her contact Swifty, she connects with Chantel, the companion of mob boss Frank Falcone, who overheard plans for a 24 million dollar heroin deal moving through a Canadian train route. Now, Selina must assemble a team to pull off the heist—but the real challenge isn’t the plan, it’s who she can trust.
In "Book Two: Stark," Selina returns to Miami to reunite with her old mentor, Stark, and convince him to join her on a high-stakes heist. With Chantel securing the train’s route and schedule, Selina must navigate the growing threat of Slam Bradley’s investigation into her supposed death, all while Stark brings in a new ally, Jeff, who devises a way to board the train. As Falcone closes in on Chantel’s betrayal, the plan begins to take shape—just as the real danger starts to unfold.
In "Book Three: Slam," Slam Bradley follows a trail from Swifty's Pawn Shop to a desperate Chantel, uncovering a web of betrayal that leads him from Falcone’s brutal interrogation to a high-stakes border showdown with the Canadian heroin dealer LaPerier—just as Selina’s next move begins to unfold.
In "Book Four: Score," Selina, Stark, and Jeff make a high-stakes break aboard a moving train, stealing the fortune and fleeing with it—only for their escape to unravel when Swifty picks them up, unaware that LaPerier is already on board. As betrayal and violence unfold on the boat, Selina and Stark must survive a deadly game of cat and mouse, with the tide turning in unexpected ways.
