Nightwing #5

Apr 2003 · DC · 14.95 USD; 24.95 CAD
“Hero of the City”

In "Hero of the City," Nightwing faces a city on edge as a vigilante known only as Tad takes justice into his own hands—leading to a tense clash with Dick Grayson. While Dick struggles to find his place in Bludhaven's fractured police force, a corrupt rookie’s rapid rise underscores the system’s decay, and a long-absent figure resurfaces in the shadows. Written by Chuck Dixon and brought to life by Greg Land’s dynamic art and Patrick Zircher’s detailed pencils, this issue captures the grit and moral complexity of Gotham’s sister city. The cover by Greg Land and Butch Guice adds a striking visual punch to a story that lingers long after the final page.
