Christina Chiles

Christina Chiles stepped onto the DC stage in 1997, born from the creative partnership of Doug Moench and Jim Balent in the pages of Catwoman #42 — a series that was very much the heartbeat of Gotham's street-level, morally complex storytelling in the Modern Age. With only a handful of appearances to her name, she's a deep-cut figure who shares her world with some genuinely compelling company, rubbing shoulders with Catwoman herself, Selina Kyle, Cyber-Cat, and She-Cat — a rogues' gallery of fierce, formidable women that tells you something about the charged corner of the DC universe she inhabits. She may be a rare find in the catalog, but for collectors who love the rich, character-dense era of the late-'90s Catwoman run, tracking down her appearances is exactly the kind of rewarding hunt that makes this hobby special.
