SUMMARY:
Released by DC Comics for October 1998, it is entitled “The Truth About Cats and Gods!” For a $50,000 contract from the crazed stolen artifacts dealer, Bragg, Catwoman swipes a sleeping Wonder Woman’s golden lasso. Forcing a kidnapped Professor Fuller to reveal a necessary inscription, Bragg subsequently channels the evil cat god, Kalinos, as a giant-sized, golden feline. Against this potent threat, Wonder Woman and a repentant Catwoman call a truce to thwart Bragg’s rampage.
Note: As acknowledged on the first and last pages, the title’s cancellation makes Issue # 19 the last issue.
REVIEW:
Long predating similar-style tales featured in Wonder Woman’s Sensation Comics anthology, this Catwoman team-up is an okay read. Still, given the intended audience, the ultra-simplistic story offers decent storytelling and the art squad’s appealingly cartoony visuals. This issue, suffice to say, offers a likable option for a child’s entry-level comics collection.

BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 5 Stars
