Catwoman: Selina's Big Score

In 2003, Darwyn Cooke brought his signature retro-modern style to DC for this standalone graphic novel, a taut crime story that redefined Selina Kyle as a coolly professional thief executing one last, risky heist. Written and drawn entirely by Cooke, the single-issue format allowed for a tight, cinematic narrative that stripped away capes and cowls to focus on character and atmosphere. This book is a crucial bridge between Catwoman's gritty origins and her modern era, showcasing Cooke's masterful storytelling and design in a self-contained classic.
