Issue Description

Dick Grayson has been fired from being Robin and struck out on his own; direction-less. But Dick's about to receive a visit from Deadman! What's Deadman's connection to the circus where Dick grew up? Continue following Nightwing: Year One part 3 of 6!

Dick talked to Donna Troy, telling her he was working things out. He was shown a poster of his father he'd never seen before. The Brand brothers had more or less taken the costume idea as their own, but Dick thought he could work with it. He got one made in two-tone blue. While he practiced his routine, the lion escaped. He helped keep it back while they tranquilized it. Alfred found a boy tied up in the cave. Batman introduced him as Jason Todd. He'd caught him the previous night trying to steal the tires from the Batmobile. Boston Brand got into a couple bodies in the circus and spoke with Dick. Dick decided to return to his "former line of work." Deadman spoke with Batman to give him an update. Jason surprised Bruce and Alfred by snatching and putting on Dick's old costume.

Volume Description

Starring: Dick Grayson as Nightwing.

Promo

Following his solo starring roles in Nightwing: Alfred's Return and the September Nightwing 1995 mini-series launched after Grayson's turn under the Batman cowl in Batman: Prodigal, Dick Grayson was rewarded for years of heroic service with his own ongoing series, written by Chuck Dixon and with art by Scott McDaniel, coming off the success of Dixon's Robin (1993) series.

Setting up camp in Bludhaven, a city close to his Gotham City home and twice as corrupt, Nightwing quickly acquired quite a rogues gallery. From underworld boss Blockbuster to the acrobatic Lady Vic to the twisted former cop Torque, Nightwing battled his way to respect in his new town, and the fans took notice.

A hit from the start, Nightwing lasted 153 regular issues, a #1000000 issue, 2 annuals and a special #0.5 issue from Wizard magazine.

As the series came to an end in 2009 with the Death of Bruce Wayne story line running throughout the Bat-family titles, Dick Grayson went on to star as Batman in Batman, Detective Comics, Batman & Robin among others.
