Nightwing #3

Nightwing leaps into action on this December 1996 installment of his ongoing DC series, rendered with kinetic energy by cover penciler Scott McDaniel and inker Ray McCarthy — twin escrima sticks raised against a burst of golden light as Dick Grayson commands the entire frame in his distinctive blue-and-black costume. "The Freebooters" promises the kind of street-level adventure that writer Chuck Dixon brought to the character throughout this era. A confident, propulsive cover that captures Nightwing at his most assured.
