Batgirl #60

Batgirl faces down a towering threat in issue #60, as the Penguin's massive, cold-eyed visage looms over Gotham's skies while a determined, black-and-gold-suited Batgirl crouches in the foreground, fists raised against a swarm of bats — a striking image penciled by Alé Garza and inked by Jesse Delperdang. The cover's tagline, "Curse of the Penguin!", sets a foreboding tone for this opening chapter of "The Hood," a three-part story written by Andersen Gabrych. If you enjoy Batgirl holding her own against Gotham's heaviest hitters, this 2005 DC issue is a fine place to start.
