Catwoman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Special was supposed to be released today

Today, April 15th, 2020, would have been the release of the "Catwoman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Special" issue - a commemorative deluxe one-shot comic that would have celebrated the eight decades that Selina Kyle and her femme fatale alter ego has appeared in the pages of DC Comics since her debut in Batman #1 in Spring 1940. As the years have shown, Selina has grown into a complex and unpredictable fan-favorite character, starting off as a Cat-themed villainess before evolving into an anti-hero and of course the on-and-off romantic interest of Bruce Wayne/ Batman. That relationship was taken further in the early 2000's with Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee's epic "Batman: Hush" storyline, and the revisited in Tom King's run which almost resulted in the official union of "Bat Cat".

With the trying times and suspension of new comic book releases until further notice, let's commemorate Catwoman's 80th Anniversary by honoring her legacy - like with this collection of graphic novels, books, and figures I have amassed in the years I have been a collector and fan of  Batman, his world, and the rest of the DC Universe. Looking forward to getting that Super Special eventually when things get better for all of us.

Happy 80th Anniversary, Catwoman!

Jim Lee posts his completed “Catwoman 80th Anniversary” 100-Page Super Spectacular #1 cover

To say this is “Purrrffect” is an understatement, but Jim Lee took to his social media pages like Facebook and posted his 2000’s variant cover for the upcoming “Catwoman 80th Anniversary” 100-Page Super Special #1!

As you can tell from the title, the one-shot issue celebrates the 80th Anniversary and legacy of Catwoman - better known as Selina Kyle and the on-and-off love interest/ frenemy of The Dark Knight himself, Batman. In Jim Lee’s variant piece - it’s a tribute to the groundbreaking early 2000’s Batman storyline “Hush”, which saw Bruce Wayne/ Batman getting serious with Selina/ Catwoman in the midst of a case that saw the titular antagonist introduced for the first time and pitting the Caped Crusader against his greatest enemies. Batman also revealed his identity to Catwoman for the very first time in official Post-Crisis continuity.

The 80th Anniversary Catwoman special will arrive in comic book stores on April 15th.
