Nightwing #26

Against a burning sunset sky swarming with bats, Nightwing stands tall in his sleek black-and-blue costume, escrima sticks at the ready, while Huntress crouches beside him in her purple-and-black outfit — McDaniel and Story's cover composition making the pair look like they own every rooftop in Gotham. Writer Chuck Dixon's "Angle of Attack" promises a sharp, action-driven story pairing two of DC's most capable street-level fighters. This December 1998 issue is a fine showcase of the dynamic energy McDaniel brought to the series throughout his run.
