The first series (1989)

First comic book series a limited run

DC Comics produced a four-issue comic book series for Catwoman in early 1989. The first modern Catwoman comic, published Post-Crisis , was published in a four-issue series from February to May 1989. Rated for mature audiences, this magazine series was done as a test to see if there was a market for a Catwoman comic.

This series featured Catwoman in a full-fledged gray Catsuit, complete with whiskers and a tail! The comic book series timing is interesting in that it was printed just before the debut of the 1989 Batman film starring Michael Keaton as the Caped Crusader. It’s 1992 sequel would feature Michelle Pfeiffer as the Feline Fatale.
