Black Canary is on a mission to investigate a spate of high-society disappearances. Who shall ever rescue all those rich jerks?

Where does Barbara get all those Bar-family plushies? Surely they can’t be official merchandise.

Must be weird to see Greg Land art and not have it be immediately apparent that it was traced.

Yeeeeah...wouldn't pick Black Canary for a stealth mission.

This was before she regained her sonic scream.

[blues32]

Ah.

[numeronone]

Insane to me that with a good inker, Land was at least capable of -resembling- passable art (even if Dinah has bizarre Liefeldesque hot-dog thighs).

Surely they can’t be official merchandise.

Why not? Batman is officially just an Urban Legend, remember? Anyone can market him!

Okay, they're probably homemade. Barbara's post-Crisis origin shows she'd hand-stitched her own Batgirl doll years before actually putting on the cowl.

The walls have ears.

Well, the shelves do at least.

Wasn't Barbara keeping her identity secret from Dinah at this time? Because identifying someone as your ex-fiance seems like a bad way to do that.
