Batgirl: Year One cover

Determined to join the ranks of crime-fighters against the wishes of her police-captain father, Barbara Gordon dons a caped costume to become Batgirl, and must overcome Batman's skepticism while taking on archvillain Killer Moth. From comics masters Chuck Dixon, Scott Beatty and Marcos Martin, Barbara Gordon's first year in the Batsuit is chronicled in this new softcover edition! Barbara Gordon is a bright and eager young woman who has already achieved much in her life, but struggles to find her true calling. After graduating college in her teens, Barbara hopes to follow in her father's footsteps and serve as a dedicated officer of the law, but her plans are derailed by her father's overprotectiveness and society's prejudices. This leads Barbara to seize a different path toward her goal and adopt the vigilante persona of Batgirl. As she learns the ropes of the vigilante lifestyle, she finds herself thrown into conflict with Batman and the crosshairs of aspiring super-villains. This beloved tale is finally available in hardcover, with stunning art from Marcos Martin (Daredevil). Collects Batgirl: Year One #1-9.
