Nightwing #11

Scott McDaniel and Karl Story deliver a gripping cover for Nightwing #11 (August 1997): a menacing, cloaked figure looms large against a moonlit sky, its massive bone-clawed hands reaching downward toward a fallen Nightwing, who lies dazed below alongside a white-haired figure caught in the chaos. Chuck Dixon's "Fear Takes Flight" promises exactly the kind of high-stakes tension this image radiates — Bludhaven's guardian looking dangerously outmatched. A strong chapter in this mid-'90s solo series that consistently delivered moody, street-level thrills.
