Nightwing #2

The cover of this second chapter in the four-issue 1995 miniseries announces "New Look! New Attitude!" — and it delivers, showing Dick Grayson's Nightwing descending dramatically by parachute in his sleek blue-and-black costume, jaw set and determined, with an explosion of fire and smoke erupting in the jungle below him. The tagline "Behind Enemy Lines" sets a tense, espionage-flavored tone that feels a world away from Nightwing's Gotham roots. Brian Stelfreeze's cover work gives the figure a dynamic, almost cinematic weight that makes this mini feel like essential mid-'90s DC reading.
