A Great Read by Dixon This book opens with two one shot stories. "Wolves" and "Batgirl" then collects the start of the monthly with Birds of Prey 1-6.
That's a lot of pages beautifully drawn by Greg Land and inked by Dick Giordano, and of course written by Chuck Dixon. Although the first two stories are one shots the whole volume flows together and adventures start and end with overlying plot elements. A lot of cool imaginative stuff here.
In particular I like the strong leading women who don't need men while in the field but have no problem talking boy trouble over a dish of ice cream. Cool hero stuff but no lectures to be endured or bones to be picked.
Great superhero story telling.
Graphic SF Reader This is the beginnings of the fine Birds of Prey series. Barbara Gordon is Oracle, and confined to a wheelchair. She becomes partners with Black Canary, who provides the legwork for some operations to capture criminals, disrupt terrorists, retrieve beasties or whatever else the computer genius Gordon decides needs to be done.
a wonderful beginning for the Birds of Prey Collects the first six issues of the Birds of Prey comic book, when only Oracle and Black Canary formed the team. If you're a fan of the Black Canary or Barbara Gordon, then this is the book to check out. See how the Birds of Prey comic book(as of 2006, it's still going strong) began! These early BOP adventures were written by Chuck Dixon.
NOTE: Also contains two Birds of Prey one-shots(stand alone comic books), called Birds of Prey: Wolves & Birds of Prey: Batgirl.
