classic Infantino cover; 1st solo Black Canary + 1st Black Canary cover (2/48)
Black Canary has never been hotter since appearing on the Arrow TV series, and this book is one of the most important in the history of the character, as this is the heroine's first cover appearance and first solo adventure. Beginning life as a mere mortal with hand-to-hand combat skills and a penchant for undercover investigating, the Black Canary would go on to develop a "canary cry" capable of incapacitating foes and shattering objects, the character would go through several permutations before joining the Arrowverse, bringing heat to this valuable and collectible issue.

The white cover on this comic bears a slight patina of age, otherwise there would be few indicators that any time has passed since this book sat on a spinner rack in a local drug store or hung from a newsstand on a street corner.
