Collection: Black Canary – DC Comics – (1991–1992) – Volume 1 – Limited Series - #1–4

📘 Series Summary

In 1991, DC Comics finally gave Dinah Lance the spotlight she deserved with her first-ever solo limited series. Written by Mark Evanier and featuring the detailed, gritty artwork of Trevor Von Eeden, this 4-issue arc redefined Black Canary for a new era. Moving away from her traditional Justice League roots, the story focuses on Dinah’s life in Seattle, where she operates as a vigilante while dealing with the fallout of the Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters saga.

The series explores Dinah's search for her own identity, taking her into a world of corporate greed, drug trafficking, and international conspiracy. Without her signature "Canary Cry" (which she had lost at the time), the series highlights her mastery of martial arts and her sheer determination. This volume is widely considered the foundational solo run that proved Black Canary could carry her own title, leading directly into her subsequent ongoing series and her eventual legendary status in the Birds of Prey.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

• The historic first solo title for Black Canary in DC Comics history.
• Features the distinctive, atmospheric artwork of Trevor Von Eeden, known for his cinematic pacing and noir aesthetic.
• A grounded, street-level crime thriller that emphasizes Dinah’s hand-to-hand combat skills over superpowers.
• Essential reading for fans of the Mike Grell era of Green Arrow, as it expands on that continuity.
• Explores the legacy of the original Black Canary, Dinah Drake, and its impact on her daughter's mission.
• A tight, complete 4-issue limited series that redefined the character’s trajectory for the 1990s.
