Shadow of the Batgirl

In this standalone graphic novel from 2020, writer Sarah Kuhn and artist Nicole Goux reimagine Cassandra Cain’s journey to becoming Batgirl for a new generation. Published under DC’s young adult imprint, the story follows a young, nearly silent girl raised as a weapon who must choose her own path after finding refuge in a library and a surprising connection to Barbara Gordon. It’s a heartfelt, visually striking take on identity and heroism that introduces a beloved character to readers unfamiliar with her complex comics history.
