Nightwing #84

This October 2003 issue of DC's long-running Nightwing series opens a two-part story with a striking cover by J. H. Williams III, rendered in a bold red, purple, and white palette that immediately commands attention. Nightwing looms large at the top, his expression cold and focused, while a distressed young woman struggles below him, framed by an angular, almost predatory design that radiates tension. Writer Devin Grayson and artist Rick Leonardi, inked by Jesse Delperdang, bring "Did Not Shoot the Deputy" to life with a visual setup that promises Dick Grayson navigating something considerably more complicated than a routine night on the streets.
