10 Terrible Comic Book Covers DC Want You To Forget

7. Catwoman #0

Typically, a comic book cover features bold artwork used to capture a reader's attention. Maybe someone who has never read a Catwoman title before will be happy to try it out after walking by and seeing something interesting or even provocative, but while that may be the goal, it doesn't always work out like it was planned.

The cover of Catwoman #0, illustrated by Guillem March, clearly attempts to capture the reader's eye. It features the titular character in a skin-tight suit showing off all the goods in as sexy a way as possible, but there's only one problem: the human body can't do that!

To be clear, a human body could stretch out in the way illustrated on the cover, only it would require the person was dead and broken in ways nobody would ever want to be broken.

Usually, March has no problem illustrating the human body in a way that makes sense, but this drawing stands as a rare exception. Not only was the drawing a bit off, it got called out by fans... a lot. Memes flooded the Internet depicting how broken her spine must be to look like that, and Catwoman #0 remained a notorious issue from that point on.
