Take a look at the Catwoman's Guide To Life in this interesting look at the 9 lives of Batman's true love.
There's tons of interesting stuff. Starting with a foreword by Adam West. We then get a look at the publication history of Catwoman. From her first appearance as 'The Cat' to her evolution as an anti-hero in Batman Returns and Batman: The Animated Series. Published in 2003, this book doesn't include the Fox TV series Gotham or the debacle of Batman and Selina's wedding bait-and-switch.
Suzan Colon looks at Selina Kyle's arsenal. The first thing that makes Catwoman so deadly is her sexuality. But she's also got vehicles, whips and feline galore. Then you experience a day (and NIGHT) in the life of Catwoman. Finally, you get to enjoy a classic 1940s or 50s era Catwoman comic story by Bob Kane and company.
This book has dozens upon dozens of great images culled from various comic book titles over the years. Suzan Colon gives thanks to the many artists and writers whose work she utilized in this book. But I really would have liked to have known what issues she took the images from. There's no acknowledgment of that here.
A fun read about one of Batman's most deadly yet loyal foes.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
