Birds of Prey #116

This May 2008 issue of Birds of Prey sports a striking split-panel cover by Stéphane Roux, spotlighting a masked, gun-wielding heroine in a sleek black-and-white costume at the center, flanked by a brooding armored figure in the blue-toned background and an unsettling close-up of a grinning villain's face below — all tied together by the bold proclamation "Queen Killer Shark!" The dynamic composition gives the whole thing an almost retro pop-art energy that feels fresh and confident. Writer Sean McKeever, artist Nicola Scott, and inker Doug Hazlewood bring their talents inside for "Hidden Treasures," making this an intriguing chapter in the series.
