About this Collection

This volume collects Nightwing #9-16, continuing Dick Grayson's early solo adventures as he establishes himself in Blüdhaven. The story arc sees Nightwing facing off against a new villain, the mysterious and brutal Blockbuster, while also dealing with the lingering shadows of his past as Robin. The collection deepens the character's journey toward independence from Batman's shadow, blending street-level crime-fighting with personal drama.

In "Die Trying," Nightwing finds himself unexpectedly wealthy and channels that into building a high-powered new car, testing his limits both on the road and in the shadows. As tensions rise with Tad, who’s locked in a tense conversation with a man who once wore the Tarantula mantle, the city’s danger escalates—culminating in a chilling appearance by Man-Bat in the final panel. Written by Chuck Dixon and brought to life by Scott McDaniel’s dynamic art, with inks by Karl Story and colors by Roberta Tewes and Jamison, this 1999 issue blends sleek ambition with the ever-present edge of Gotham’s underworld. The cover, also by McDaniel and Story, captures the moment’s intensity with sharp, striking detail.
