Batgirl Special #1

In "The Last Batgirl Story," a 1988 DC special, Batgirl teams up with her ally Slash to take down the enigmatic Cormorant. Amid the action, Barbara discovers the Batgirl plush doll from her past—later tied to her Oracle identity—bringing a quiet moment of connection with her friend Marcy. Written by Barbara Randall and illustrated by Barry Kitson, with inks by Bruce Patterson, colors by Carl Gafford, and letters by John Costanza, the issue’s striking cover by Mike Mignola and Karl Kesel captures the story’s emotional weight.
