Description

Released 20 years ago today on November 28, 2001, Catwoman #1 (vol. 3) by Brubaker, Cooke, and Allred, introduced a redesigned cat costume to usher in the 21st century. I was on a comic book hiatus for about 5 years before I returned to the LCS for the weekly dose of escapism shortly after 9/11. I remember the years 2001 and 2002 as a good time for comics, but a sucky time for America. Catwoman was a comfort food for my soul. Darwyn Cooke would make a huge impact on DC Comics and the industry at large before lung cancer cut his life short. Born on November 16, 1962, Cooke passed away on May 14, 2016.

Here is an early convention sketch on a comic book back board by Darwyn, drawn shortly after the title was launched. It's so early he has yet to drop his last name from his signature. The sketch is an excellent example of what beauty he could accomplish in a few strokes near the height of his powers.

My thanks once again to my friend Roger K. for the first dibs, and the patient and smooth transaction. And a special thanks to Anthony F., aka Catwoman Fan, for the consultation.
