Description
The cover to CATWOMAN 67, with the original 'Dr. Strangelove' lettering that DC shot down. I thought it was cool, and fit the feeling of the issue...Thanks to urdsama for the Russian translation at the bottom. It reads "Catwoman - Out of Time".
When I handed it in, DC asked me what the Russian phrase was at the bottom, and I told them it read: "Marvel Comics blows dead bears".
They thought I was serious.
***Just for the record, Marvel Comics does NOT, in fact engage in ursine fellatio (living or dead), I just said that to scare my editor for 2 seconds. I grew up on Marvel Comics; in fact, I was a Marvel zombie before the term was coined.

Pshaw. Silly DC. The font's so cool... >_>

The whole thing is amazing. I love the coherent "dark/Soviet/reddish" theme you have going on ^_^ Stunning work, as always...

OMG, that is so cool how you got her whip looking like a tail! I've seen the character a bazillion times and that's the first time I've related those two things in that way.

There's a Pfeifer involved in Catwoman?
Oh and I don't get the whole Marvel Vs DC.
I read mostly Marvel but I love Batman, grew up with the DC toons.

The whole Marvel VS DC thing is a sometimes playful, sometimes serious rivalry between the two major American superhero comic publishers.

I'm sorry, you said you didn't get the whole Marvel-DC rivalry thing, and I was trying to explain it to you, as I thought it was a genuine question you were asking.

We Aussies aren't so literal. I mean "I don't get" as in "why the fuss"?

Not at all. The Marvel joke was the first thing that popped inmy head that would strike the terror of litigation into my editor. If I was doing Russian on a Marvel cover, I probably would've told my editor the translation was "DC Comics gives rotten head". I'm an equal opportunity trouble-maker.

Dude I know it was a joke, man I was just bustin' your balls . . . Marvel hater. . . .
There's a whole lot of crotch talk going on here . . . hmmm. . . . balls . . . head . . . uh. . . . rotten head. . . fellatio . . . I think there's a theme here.
All that aside, I can't imagine anyone rejecting anything that you've done. This piece is so beautiful I want to put down my drawing stick and never work again. I mean what's the point when there's you in the world!
You're an incredible talent and I can't wait to see what comes of All Star Wonder Woman! You on interiors again is like a dream come true for me . . . you Marvel Hater.

Marvel Comics blows dead bears 
I had trouble getting some old logos, and text on one of my recent Ms. Marvel covers too... maybe I should have tried writing a cryptic message about DC.

I bet the look on their faces while they pondered the implications (legal and otherwise) was precious.

The Russian says "woman from..." dunno what the last word is.

You probably knew that though.

I think, that "ΠΠ΅Π½ΡΠΈΠ½Π° ΠΈΠ· Π²ΡΠ΅ΠΌΠ΅Π½ΠΈ"
Woman from time.

That's not how you speak Russian.
I mean, that doesn't make even faint bit of sense.

Oh, I think you're right. You didn't have to translate for me though (but I'm sure non-Russian speakers appreciate it).

I, for one, KNEW Marvel did not engage in such activities...if they HAD I would have seen them at the meetings.

Epic. Amazingly Epic.
And HAAAAAR about the bear blowing.

Are you kidding me?! I looked at this cover and thought "Alright...a major comic publisher has finally gotten smart about letting creative logo/type design happen." Guess not. I was going to buy it solely on seeing this cover and design.
Great job on it anyway.
