Learn how to crack a whip with feline ferocity! Uncover the secrets of the all-leather wardrobe! Study the sizzling one-liners that keep Batman aching for more! Chock-full of insightful feline fatale tips, this illustrated tell-all delivers the searing details of Catwomans kitschy career. Sleek and sexy, the greatest cat burglar of all time sank her claws into the Caped Crusader back in 1940 and hasnt let go since. Part homage, part how-to, this handsome treatise divulges Catwomans stellar techniques at everything from scaling walls to tickling a gentlemans fancy without mercy. With a brief history of her many incarnations over the years, loads of terrific vintage illustrations, sections on fashion and romance, and personal tips on getting ahead, this spunky vinyl-covered volume (oooh! purple PVC!) will attract both new fans of the slinky girl kitty and time-tested aficionados. Its the purr-fect ode to The Feline Felon, The Mistress of Malevolence, The Princess of Plunder . . . a.k.a. Catwoman.

I am working on an in-depth research project on Catwoman, and I must admit, even though this book is visually compelling..that is all that it is. Catwoman is constantly viewed as a 'visual' character (read this as meaning sexualized), with little to no attention paid to her origins, actions, etc. It is crazy to see how many books are written on Batman, yet only two appear about Catwoman (both concerned with the visual more than anything else). Interesting....(in a bad cultural commentary way)..

This book is a great tribute to Catwoman, and it's just as stylish as she is! Readers will love the purple vinyl cover and will ooh and ahh over the hundreds of color photos. There is information on Catwoman from all the various phases of her life, including comic book, movie, and television appearances.

A great-looking, fun book. Not much text, a quick read. Similar format to the "Complete History" compilations of Batman and Superman, but less material. Call it "Complete History Lite".

although this book has lots of pictures (but not as many as you'd think, as some appear more than once), it has practically no content. it's very cute but not worth the 18 bucks. i wish someone would write a real history of catwoman, but this book is not it.
