This bird won't be caged! Rediscover the origin of DC s original
crime-fighting bird of prey in this collection of classic Golden
and Silver Age tales! Introduced in 1947 as a supporting character
in the Johnny Thunder backup stories in Flash Comics, Black Canary
became an instant hit with readers. After stealing Johnny Thunder s
thunder (so to speak), she earned her own starring feature that
established her identity as Dinah Drake, a meek florist by day who
dished out vigilante justice by night under the guise of the Black
Canary. Black Canary often found herself tangled in the cases of
Larry Lance, a down-on-his-luck private eye who operated his
detective agency out of Dinah s flower shop. Whenever Larry found
himself in way over his head, it was up to Black Canary s fighting
skills and knack for crime solving to save the day, which broke
convention from the typical damsel-in-distress archetype of the
era. The Black Canary: Bird of Prey collects all of Dinah Drake s
early comic book appearances from Flash Comics plus other
adventures written and illustrated by comic book legends such as
Robert Kanigher, Gardner Fox Carmine Infantino, and Murphy
Anderson. This edition features stories from Flash Comics #86-88,
90-104; Comic Cavalcade #25; DC Special #3; Adventure Comics #399,
418-419; and The Brave and the Bold #61-62.
