🎨 DAN QUINTANA ARTWORK – Quintana has developed a passionate collector following for his unmistakable approach to comic art. His work blends dark fantasy, surrealism, intricate detail, dramatic lighting, and a haunting dreamlike quality that makes his covers immediately recognizable.
⚫⚪ BLACK & WHITE EDITION – Quintana’s artwork is especially impressive in B&W. Without color competing for attention, the eye is drawn directly to his detailed linework, textures, shadows, and dramatic contrast.
📚 PREMIUM CARDSTOCK COVER – Printed on heavier cardstock rather than a traditional comic cover, giving this edition a more substantial, premium feel in hand.
💎 ONLY 1,000 COPIES – With just 1,000 copies produced, this is a genuinely limited modern Catwoman exclusive.
🐈⬛ ABSOLUTE CATWOMAN #1 – As the first issue, this book has additional appeal for collectors who enjoy grabbing premium variants tied to the beginning of a new series.
📖 UNREAD – This copy has never been read and has been carefully stored and handled since acquisition.
This is exactly the kind of artwork that benefits from a Black & White presentation.
Dan Quintana’s style relies heavily on atmosphere, texture, shadow, and fine detail. Removing the color allows those elements to become even more prominent.
His artwork often combines:
• Dark fantasy influences
• Intricate linework
• Dramatic shadow
• Organic textures
• Surreal imagery
• Haunting character portraits
• Fine-art inspired composition
The result is artwork that frequently feels closer to a dark fantasy illustration or gallery print than a conventional superhero cover.
That aesthetic is a particularly strong match for Catwoman, a character built around mystery, shadows, danger, and elegance.
Unlike the Virgin edition, this Trade Dress Variant retains the title and traditional comic-book presentation.
That gives collectors the best of both worlds: Quintana’s dramatic B&W artwork combined with the recognizable Absolute Catwoman branding of a published comic.
For collectors assembling multiple editions of Quintana’s cover, the Trade version also makes an excellent companion to any Virgin, Foil, or other premium versions.
Only 1,000 copies of this Dan Quintana B&W Trade Cardstock edition were produced.
Consider the combination:
• Absolute Catwoman #1
• Dan Quintana artwork
• Black & White treatment
• Trade Dress edition
• Premium Cardstock cover
• Only 1,000 copies
• UNREAD
• Approximately NM/M condition
With Quintana developing a dedicated collector following of his own, low-print variants like this have appeal beyond collectors simply building an Absolute Catwoman run.
This comic has been carefully stored and handled and presents beautifully with outstanding overall eye appeal.
The corners remain sharp, the spine presents cleanly, and the premium cardstock cover displays exceptionally well.
