Batgirl Year One #6

Batgirl takes the road on her own terms in this 2003 installment of the beloved Year One miniseries. Marcos Martín and Álvaro López's cover frames Barbara Gordon's alter ego astride a roaring motorcycle, rendered small against the looming wheel and chrome of a much larger bike — a visual tension that's both playful and quietly defiant. With Scott Beatty and Chuck Dixon steering "Chapter Six: Bird of Prey," this is stylish, confident comics storytelling that holds up beautifully.
