Black Canary 6 p 11 - Von Eeden and Smith

In the late 80s/early 90s, Black Canary had a moment. She was in the JL relaunch, prominent in Long Bow Hunters/Green Arrow, and then reborn in her own mini and series. Sarah Byam, Trevor von Eeden, and Bob Smith took her through several stories as a non-powered vigilante.

The book moved her forward in a lot of ways, including taking her back to her roots - especially with her bombshell look. Von Eeden really shined in these stories, getting to mix up superhero and film noir conventions.

Trevor mixed a lot of detail (look at those fishnets and that jacket in the top panel) with some much looser drawings (her face in the third panel) to great effect.

I was lucky enough to buy this piece directly from Mr Von Eeden via Facebook. Make sure to check him out there. It was a super smooth purchase and his emoji game is strong.
