Spider-Man vs. The Black Cat

    (Marvel, 2005)
™ and © Marvel Characters, Inc.

The Black Cat is hot—in more ways than one—in the Marvel Universe. But since a relatively lengthy period of time elapsed between her introduction and larger popularity, many fans are probably unfamiliar with some of her initial appearances. This collection presents her first several appearances, all in the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man. First she was the mysterious cat burglar whose abilities and beauty intrigued the web-slinger, and then she was the young woman obsessed with Spider-Man himself. Their relationship seemed destined to end badly, but it is said that cats have nine lives…

All issues are presented in full-color, with creators including Marv Wolfman, Roger Stern, David Michelinie, and Keith Pollard, among others. The trade paperback is a nice introduction to an entertaining character.
