Tangent Comics / Nightwing: Night Force

In this one-shot from DC’s 1998 Tangent Comics event, writer John Ostrander and artist Jan Duursema reimagine Nightwing as a supernatural force—a spectral entity bound to a living host, operating outside the standard DC universe. Part of the Tangent imprint’s alternate-reality take on classic heroes, this issue explores a darker, mystical version of the character, distinct from the familiar Batman-family ally. It stands as a compact, self-contained story that showcases Ostrander’s knack for reinvention and Duursema’s moody, expressive art, offering a unique glimpse into a forgotten corner of DC’s experimental late-90s line.
