Black Orchid #[nn]

This 1991 collection reprints the three-issue Black Orchid miniseries by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean, reimagining the obscure DC heroine as a genetically engineered hybrid of plant and human. The story follows the original Black Orchid's murder and the emergence of her successor, Susan Linden, as she seeks answers about her past while crossing paths with Batman, Swamp Thing, Poison Ivy, and other denizens of the DC Universe. Gaiman and McKean weave a lyrical, visually stunning tale that explores identity, ecology, and the blurred line between humanity and nature.
