Nightwing #51

Behind bars and screaming in anguish, a blond, masked figure grips prison bars on Greg Land and Drew Geraci's arresting cover for Nightwing #51 — and the story title "Tad's Story" hints that there's more to this desperate soul than meets the eye. Writer Chuck Dixon brings his signature street-level tension to this January 2001 issue, promising a character-driven chapter that puts a human face on Bludhaven's shadows. It's a compelling, emotionally charged installment that fans of the series won't want to skip.
