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.
