Catwoman #37

Catwoman faces a ferocious, leopard-like threat head-on in this September 1996 issue, as Jim Balent's cover depicts Selina Kyle in her purple costume locked in a tense struggle with a snarling, spotted creature amid heavy chains and an industrial backdrop. The story title "Fang and Claw" promises exactly the kind of wild, close-quarters confrontation the cover delivers so vividly. With Chuck Dixon scripting and Balent handling both pencils and inks, this is a visually striking chapter in Selina's ongoing series.
