📘 Series Summary

Two of fiction’s most iconic noblemen collide in Batman / Tarzan: Claws of the Catwoman, a 4-issue Limited Series co-published by DC Comics and Dark Horse. Set in the 1930s, the story parallels Bruce Wayne and Lord Greystoke—two men who have pushed their minds and bodies to the peak of human perfection to protect their respective "jungles." When a ruthless archaeologist named Dent begins plundering an ancient African city, the Dark Knight and the Lord of the Jungle must join forces to stop him.

Written by Ron Marz with incredibly atmospheric, textured art by Igor Kordey, the series is a high-adventure noir that feels like a classic pulp novel come to life. The heroes are enlisted by a mysterious African princess known as the Cat-woman to protect her people and their treasures. From the urban shadows of Gotham to the dense, treacherous waterfalls of the deep jungle, this cross-company team-up is a masterclass in period-piece storytelling and features stunning cover art by the legendary Dave Dorman.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • The first and only historic team-up between these two legendary orphans of pulp and comic history.
  • Features Igor Kordey’s unique, European-influenced art style, which perfectly captures the 1930s aesthetic.
  • Stunning, painterly wraparound covers by Dave Dorman (famed for his Star Wars work).
  • Reimagines Two-Face as a pulp-era villain named Dent, a ruthless archaeologist plundering African history.
  • Introduces a new, culturally distinct Cat-woman who serves as the princess and protector of a lost city.
  • A complete 4-issue epic that concludes with an underwater "death match" and a poignant resolution for both heroes.
