Question for fellow Catwoman fans (or anyone else who knows!)

[AlistairCrane]

When was the first appearance of Selina's runaway sidekick Arizona? She definitely appeared before Catwoman Volume 1, #1, but does anyone know where?

[Brack360]

She's in Batman #460, but I'm not sure if that's her first appearance.

Wow, that's one heck of a good trivia question, Alistair. Can't answer it myself, but now I wanna see who will be able too! :biggrin:

Yeah, I don't think Arizona appeared prior to that issue of Batman. Now, I don't know for certain, but outside of Action Comics Weekly and "Her Sister's Keeper", I don't think Selina appeared a lot in the Batman books until 1991. Right after "Year One", that is. Then she appeared in "Sisters In Arms", Batman Annual #14 and "Prey". So, as I said, that's her first appearence as far as I know.

[AlistairCrane]

Thanks everyone. I have #460, and now I think I need to track down Batman Annual #14.

Arizona must've been created as a clean-cut alternative to Holly the child prostitute. If we get another Catwoman series, I'd like to see Arizona return and mix things up with Selina and Holly.
