20 Most Controversial Comics Covers Of All Time

12. Catwoman #1

Catwoman has a long history of overly sexualized depictions; however, DC really did itself a disfavour by publishing this cover. This was the cover for the first issue of their Catwoman title that was a part of their New 52 reboot. You€™d think that DC would have produced a comic that would have been a little less sexually provocative €“ especially since DC was trying to attract new, untapped markets€ like maybe female readers. Nevertheless, DC decided to go with a playboy pin up of Catwoman with her breasts practically hanging out. Not to mention that diamonds she spilling across her chest is a bit heavy handed. The whole cover smacks of sexism.
