Catwoman

Launching in 2002, DC’s Catwoman series gave Selina Kyle her own solo spotlight, blending gritty street-level crime with noir-inflected Gotham drama. Ed Brubaker and Will Pfeifer anchored the writing, while artists like Darwyn Cooke and David López defined its sleek, expressive visual tone. Over 9 issues, the book deepened Catwoman’s character as a morally complex antihero, balancing her life as a thief with her role as a protector of the city’s vulnerable. It remains a standout for its mature, character-driven storytelling and stylish art.
