Dick Sprang, Bob Kane art; origin of Catwoman (ID'd as Selina Kyle) COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)Batman #62 is a constant collectible — especially for Catwomen fans, as "The Secret Life of the Catwoman!" makes an attempt at turning around the villainess. Bill Finger's story has Catwoman getting a head injury while trying to save Batman — and she recovers to reveal that she's former stewardess Selina Kyle, who suffered amnesia after a plane crash. (Her dad used to own a pet shop; she liked cats.) Selina's horrified to learn that she's been living a life of crime, and goes undercover to help Batman capture local crime lord Mister X. Fortunately, Catwoman would soon get over her revulsion to crime and get back to being the feline foe of fans' dreams.
This issue's also notable for the international touch of Batman and Robin traveling to England to discover that they've inspired the English crimefighting team of the Knight & Squire!
