Issue Description

 Nightwing thought about spending more time out of costume. He grabbed the Raptor, a man in an armored suit, who was wanted for murder. Nightwing injured his shoulder - he was preoccupied by someone unseen telling him he should be dead, the Raptor escaped. Nightwing found him inside Biotech Pharmaceuticals - the Raptor was standing above a man who'd been burned alive. Raptor again escaped after claiming innocence. The next morning, Dick bumped in to two girls from his apartment building, Ryan Diaz and Zen. Dick got a job as a taxi driver, but it didn't last long. Nightwing checked out the crime scene and found an employee record chart on the computer where he'd found the dead guy. The place appeared to be owned by Luthor. Nightwing followed the list (some people on it were already dead) and found the Raptor threatening a weapons plant manager. Their fight carried outside; Raptor escaped. Nightwing led the police inside and they found the target dead. Raptor had not killed him. That night as he slept, a shadowy figure came into Dick's bedroom saying he would correct the error of him not dying.

Starring: Dick Grayson as Nightwing.

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.
