Birds of Prey #66

Black Canary takes center stage on Dan Brereton's cover for Birds of Prey #66 (June 2004), striking a confident, almost playful pose in her signature black costume and fishnets while a speech bubble declares, "This issue is all about ME! …and my mama." Behind her, a bespectacled Barbara Gordon looks on with quiet intensity, and a large, dramatic close-up of a pink-haired woman dominates the background. Gail Simone's "Sensei & Student Part Five: Murder & Mystery" promises the kind of sharp, character-driven storytelling that made this series a standout in DC's 2004 lineup.
