Catwoman Annual 1994 1997 1

In the 14th century, the monarch RaÕs al Ghul sends his sonÑa dark knight of the Order of the BatÑon a genocidal mission to wipe out a roving band of peasants known as the Selenes. But the nomads are protected by a shape-shifter: a half-woman, half-feline whose attempts to thwart RaÕs al GhulÕs evil plan may be utterly undone by her feelings for the knight.

Forced to take refuge in the worst slum of Gotham City, teenager Selina Kyle is taken in and tutored by a mysterious sensei who would play a pivotal role in the shaping of Catwoman.

Kicking off an explosive new storyline that continues into CATWOMAN (2011- ), Selina must choose work for a master--or pay a high price for her freedom.

Selina Kyle walks a fine line in the criminal underworld. A thief herself, sheÕs regularly on the wrong side of the law, while her personal life gives her crooked colleagues plenty of reason to distrust her. When Catwoman finds herself at the center of a dark plot full of violence and intrigue, sheÕll have to decide which side she is onÉand who she can trust. If a leopard canÕt change its spots, and a leopard is a catÉcan Catwoman ever escape her own destiny?
