Nightwing: Ties That Bind

In 1997, DC Comics released this one-shot special that deepens the emotional landscape of Dick Grayson's life as Nightwing. Written by Alan Grant with art by Dick Giordano, the issue explores the hero's personal connections and the weight of his past, offering a character-driven interlude rather than a sprawling arc. It matters as a focused, intimate chapter in the early days of Nightwing's solo adventures.
