The whole was published under the flag of DC Deluxe, which is a series that presents Polish readers the most iconic and recognized as canonical comics DC Universe. In a fairly large population of a volume of 336 pages collected a few stories about the life of Selina Kyle, also known as Catwoman. Each of them could theoretically operate as a separate story, however, some themes and characters let it also be regarded as a coherent whole. The starting point is that Selina Kyle, Catwoman and therefore, is dead. The girl wanted to distance themselves from their past life and problems and think about a few things, because faked his disappearance and left Gotham. On the following pages of the comic know the intricate fate of Selina, her difficult childhood problems, complicated relationships with men, thieves origins and how it broke free from the clutches of … prostitution.
the very first comic book entitled” Great Leap Selina “promises that we will have to deal with really thoughtful and deep history. The narrator here is not just the sheer Selina, who is preparing for a spectacular attack on the train of a mobster, but also her lover – Stark. Each character gets the right amount of time for us to get to know them well. There is no shortage of humor and sharp tongue level, and all the backstage preparations for the attack is followed with great interest. There is also the character Slam Bradley, an aging private detective and a representative of the old school, who tried to unravel the mystery of the disappearance of Selina and discover her secret.
It is this hero plays a key role in the next story, which is the title “On the trail of Catwoman.” We meet here not only the force of the detective, but also many biographical facts relating to Selina. Investigation Bradley pointedly illustrates how many corpses keeps in the closet dark Gotham, including the people in power. It is worth noting that the comic book walks the reader with a lot of respect. There uświadczycie here bombastic monologues and superzłoczyńców odgrażających the whole world, and Batman himself acts as episodic. This is only part of a complex life Selina. The authors of the series are not afraid to kill characters are not afraid to also move topics such as prostitution, drug trafficking, addiction to cocaine or corruption in the Police. Detective smartness “On the trail of Catwoman” touches moments of the crime, and his characters are one dimensional. Their actions are often amoral and selfish – even the Batman / Bruce Wayne has its own priorities and is in no way set on a pedestal.
the rest of the album follow the fate of Selina after returning to Gotham, where trying to help a friend with underworld tries to unravel the mysteries of murders of prostitutes ( “something for the pain”) to the next history to face the drug mafia using to smuggle heroin street kids and corrupt cops ( “Every thing right down” and “Suits”). These stories neatly span the multiple threads, but the same ending reveals that this is only the beginning of the fight with a big fish of the criminal world. For now, however, it is not certain whether the Egmont decides to issue continuing adventures Selina in our market. I keep my fingers crossed for it.
The drawings mainly responsible Darwyn Cooke, winner of many awards and author of the excellent series “The New Frontier”, tells of the beginnings of the most important heroes of the DC stable. His line is quite specific and not everyone will appeal. It has much in common with the wider realism. The following personnel are often small, economical and resemble little dark cartoon, in which, however, no shortage of blunt violence. Another sketches can not be for it to refuse charm, because consciously refer to the style of the 50s it is impossible not to mention about Ed Brubakerze, who took care of the script. Experienced in the subject of horror and crime great here has left its mark. It is worth noting that this is also the co-founder of the cult comic book from the world of Batman, remember that even Gotham Central. Some of the characters in the series include indeed a guest appearance in the adventures of Selina.
Catwoman: On the trail of Catwoman recommend to all those who seek Staroszkolna, but also a deep history in the atmosphere of noir. A powerhouse here are the relationship between the characters and reliably shown to change the main character. Although the specific line may reject some, it’s the same scenario will make you easily soak up the atmosphere of the dirty streets of Gotham. Not here uświadczycie spectacular duels with przebierańcami, but you can count on a very human story about the dramas of the people living in the city guarded by Batman.
