Behind BATMAN VS 3 VILLAINS OF DOOM "Black Cat Crimes!"

The Penguin and The Joker Have Failed to Capture or Kill The Batman and Robin...

...now, the Felonious Feline Femme Fatale herself, The Catwoman, will attempt to finish off the Caped Crusaders in this cover-featured story from DC's Detective Comics #122 (1947) produced by The Batman's co-creators, writer Bill Finger and penciler Bob Kane, with the assistance of inker Charles Paris!

You've read the comic tale, now read the prose version via these links...
Chapter 9
Chapter 10
Chapter 11

Note that the novel describes Catwoman in the costume you see above, not the slinky, dark green, iridescent ensemble Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, and Eartha Kitt wore in the TV series!
The Silver Age comics copied the TV costume's design, but, for some reason, made it bright green!
Remember, you can read the entire novel, start to finish, by clicking HERE!
We hope you've enjoyed this journey into a previously-unrevealed secret about the book that began a whole line of prose novels and short story anthologies that continue to this day!
