You may think you know who Selina Kyle is and where she came from, but the new graphic novel Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale completely imagines her origin in a completely different way. And we’ve got your first look!
Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale by Lauren Myracle and Isaac Goodhart is the second book in the DC Ink series that takes DC Comics characters that everyone knows and loves and gives them all-new backstories. Backstories that readers of YA books can more than identify with on some level or another.
The Selina Kyle in this novel is a survivor. She has suffered more than most, leaving her home due to domestic violence, and believes that she can get by on her own. However, if there’s anything that this exclusive excerpt shows, it’s that Selina needs others more than she thinks.
