“It Takes Two Wings to Fly”

In "It Takes Two Wings to Fly," Batman and Catwoman join forces with Green Arrow and Black Canary in a high-stakes mission that spans Gotham and Star City, confronting a powerful chemical corporation with deep-reaching corruption. Doug Moench’s gripping script, brought to life by Gene Colan’s moody art and Bob Smith’s sharp inks, delivers a tense, character-driven thriller with a touch of unexpected partnership. Brian Bolland’s striking cover captures the uneasy alliance perfectly.
