Darthsig Curated: Tattooed Gotham - Batman #162 + Catwoman #78 - Nathan Szerdy Signed Foil Pair with COAs

Darthsig Curated: Tattooed Gotham — Batman #162 + Catwoman #78 — Nathan Szerdy Signed Foil Pair with COAs

Some comics belong together because the checklist says so. These two belong together because the artwork does.

Nathan Szerdy gives both covers the same tattoo-heavy visual language: Gotham heroines posed against dark backgrounds, their suits and skin layered with character imagery like living comic-book ink. Put the books side by side and the compositions do something even better — Batgirl and Catwoman appear to turn toward one another, creating an unofficial two-panel conversation across the shelf.

That is the heart of this Darthsig Curated pairing. These are separate exclusives, not an advertised connecting-cover set, but visually they read like a deliberate diptych: blue against purple, foil against foil, two Gotham icons, and Szerdy's tattoo motif tying the entire presentation together.

Each comic is signed by Nathan Szerdy and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

The Batman copy is the Nathan Szerdy Exclusive Foil Variant, limited to 1,000 copies. The Catwoman copy is the Nathan Szerdy Exclusive Foil Virgin Variant, also limited to 1,000 copies, allowing the artwork to run without trade dress and making the paired display even stronger.

The exact signed comics shown are the copies offered. Darker mages are from scans. 

Curated set includes:

• Batman, Vol. 3 #162P — Nathan Szerdy Exclusive Foil Variant — Limited to 1,000 — Signed by Nathan Szerdy — COA included — DC Comics — Released November 12, 2025 — $4.99 cover price
• Catwoman, Vol. 5 #78G — Nathan Szerdy Exclusive Foil Virgin Variant — Limited to 1,000 — Signed by Nathan Szerdy — COA included — DC Comics — Released August 20, 2025 — $4.99 cover price

Darthsig Curated theme: Tattooed Gotham. Two limited foil exclusives. Two Nathan Szerdy signatures. Two COAs. And when displayed together, one visual story.

This pairing is for the collector who cares about more than simply checking off issue numbers. It is about presentation — the mirrored poses, the tattoo motif, the shared artist, the foil finish, and the way the two covers become more interesting when they are seen as a pair.
