“Once a Thief...”

In "Once a Thief...", Catwoman is hired by Gotham Bank and Trust president Irving Fenster to assess security—only to find herself caught in a twist where the real theft might be on the other side of the ledger. Written by Scott Beatty and illustrated by Christopher Jones, with inks by Terry Beatty and colors by Heroic Age, this 2007 DC issue sets a tense, cat-and-mouse game in motion. The cover by Christopher Jones and Terry Beatty captures the moment just before the trap snaps shut.
