Description

Title Splash page from Officer Down Part V: Inculpatory!

Nightwing brings Barbara the gun that was used to shoot her father, Commissioner Gordon.

Nice to have a page with Oracle and Nightwing together. I like how it features Babs and has the Birds of Prey Clocktower light with Nightwing's shadow over it.

I guess I associate Babs and Dick with romances that just don't pan out.

Cool imagery with the face of the clock and all the shadowing. Great title page!

Out on the street, I'm Winging the Night
I can hear my Rodney inking
Paid for pencils Burchett does it all right
Something there Gordon believes in

Voices are calling, this gun shot my dad
I can hear them, I can hear them
The Night Wing memories of things that were said
They can't try to hurt me now

But a shot at the cop, one step away from you
A clock in the dark, always creeping up on you

You know I'm a sucker for a good graphic layout and this is fantastic, dark, and mysterious! Nice one, Derek!

Powerful and emotive, man. Perfect that most of the board is shadowed to evoke that, and the shadowed figure adds an element of the unknown, vs. Barb knowing that that's the gun. Congrats!

Excellent page. Beautifully lit and wonderfully designed. Fyi, I really enjoyed how the Dick and Babs relationship was handled in the 2nd to last season of the Titans live action show.
