Birds of Prey #50

Reaching its 50th issue milestone in February 2003, Birds of Prey celebrates with a striking Phil Noto cover that pairs Black Canary — blonde ponytail, black gloves, and an alert, combat-ready stance — with a red-haired, bespectacled Oracle crouching in the foreground, both set against a bold Art Nouveau-inspired circular backdrop. The dynamic composition perfectly captures the partnership at the heart of the series. Inside, Gilbert Hernandez and artist Casey Jones take the duo through "Busman's Holiday," promising the kind of action-driven storytelling that carried the book to this satisfying landmark.
