DescriptionExcited to be posting this one!This Batgirl series was the first DC book I collected with any regularity. I read some DC now but at the time I was pretty much 100% Marvel. I was at the comic shop and saw the first issue and thought the costume looked cool so flipped through it and I REALLY dug the artwork. It was very cartoony, exaggerated, and packed with energy. The fact this Batgirl had a full mask and was so nimble and dynamic looking actually reminded me of Spider-Man, my favorite character. So, I started picking up the book every month, and the fact that I didn’t have to do much back issue research to get going really helped. The team of Peterson/Puckett/Scott/Campanella created a great new series with new character Cassandra Cain and made it last – not the easiest thing to do at the big 2. So I’m glad to have worked out a deal with CAFer Tom Li to pick up a great cover from a very early issue! Strong shot of our featured heroine taking on a baddie created for the series. Love Scott’s dynamism and Campenella’s inks here and throughout the series in general, making an all black costume really pop. Easier said than done with an all black costume, specifically the mask. A great example here of a great run and a personally awesome CAF add for me! Social/Sharing |

Gorgeous cover!! I've always loved this run of Batgirl. Damion Scott is a beast and I think Campanella is one of the most underrated inkers in comics. Hopefully this is the year I add a piece from this dynamic duo to my collection.

Thanks, Chris, and I agree across the board! Still really happy with this early example from an underrated run! Hope you get your example soon! And thanks, all, for the comments the last couple of years - always appreciated!

Wow! If you're gonna have a Batgirl cover, I can't think of a better example. Damion Scott is a real talent, and I am happy to be introduced to his work in this most excellent way. I love your story of how you got hooked on the series via the Spidey connection, and that it was your first regularly collected DC title. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Paul! Yup, still love this piece for both the art itself (Damion Scott!) as well as the high personal nostalgia factor :) You mention Spidey, which I say is a total connection for me due to the dynamic/athletic nature of the character - but I just realized the all black costume also reminds me of my other favorite hero character in Black Panther! In both BP and Batgirl we got the all black costume that I love seeing rendered in OA! So I got a little Spidey and BP in there :) Not to downplay Batgirl at all, though, as she's a killer character and design in her own right!

This is definitely one of the best Batgirl covers in the series. Like you, I was pretty much 100% Marvel until I started reading Batgirl regularly (which then branched out to the rest of the Bat family at that time, thanks to her). I started with a later issue, though, and had to pick up a number of back issues to fill in my complete set. I really, really miss the original team on this book, but they had a great run, and the memories remain. I know you got it a few years ago, but congratulations!
