Birds of Prey #2
This collection brings together the early adventures of the Birds of Prey, focusing on the dynamic partnership between Oracle (Barbara Gordon) and Black Canary (Dinah Lance) as they navigate a web of old alliances and new threats. The volume features stories that establish the team's foundation, with Batgirl making key appearances alongside the core duo.
In "Wolves," Birds of Prey face unexpected dangers even when off the clock—Babs and Dinah go their separate ways, only to find themselves in hot water. When Canary’s past comes knocking in the form of a fugitive ex-boyfriend, and Oracle’s dinner date with a gang leader turns deadly, the team’s bond is tested in more ways than one. Written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Dick Giordano, with inks by Wayne Faucher and colors by Gloria Vasquez and Jamison Services, the issue’s cover by Brian Stelfreeze captures the tension perfectly.
In "Wolves," Babs and Dinah navigate a rare break in their partnership, only to find trouble still following close behind. When Canary faces an ex-boyfriend fleeing the mob, and Oracle is drawn into a dangerous game with a gang leader who turns on her, their time apart tests more than just their teamwork.
In "One of Those Days," Canary finds herself trapped in a hidden labor camp where wealthy victims are forced to work—its existence a dark secret built on the abduction of young people. Jason Bard, determined to help, suffers a devastating injury in the attempt, leaving him blind but still fighting to uncover the truth.
In "Hounded," Jo finds herself hunted through the streets of Gotham after being captured by a relentless foe, forcing her to rely on her wits and a network of allies to survive. With Oracle’s help and a daring rescue orchestrated from afar, Jo breaks free and turns the tide against her pursuer, testing her limits in a fight that pushes her to the edge.
In "The Ravens Strike," Dinah's quiet vacation on a Minnesota lake takes a bizarre turn when she stumbles upon a dinosaur—just as the Ravens, hunting a USSR satellite for Kobra, converge on the same spot. With Oracle under watch and Pentagon operatives closing in, the line between myth and menace blurs in a story that keeps the stakes high and the tension tight.
