As I said before , every now and then I like to go back to the beginning.
Here's Black Canary in her first outing as a solo feature (without Johnny Thunder).
Originally from Flash Comics #92 (February 1948) and reprinted in Detective Comics #442 (August-September 1974) which is where I first read it:
To be continued . . .
I remember all the times the pair would get framed for crimes and have to run from the police...
I'm with MajorHoy, I love those old Black Canary stories. I would love to see a Sandman Mystery Theatre style retelling of them. Or a Netflix's Daredevil style modernization of them.
Was it ever revealed that Larry Lance had previously been the partner of Dinah's father on the police force prior to Black Canary's origin in DC Special Series #10 (1978)?
Look at that bad ass. I can't believe people just want her to be a cog in Green Arrow's story arc. She deserves way more. Black Canary: Unfinished Business in Secret Origins #50 by Alan Brennert is one of the few stories that had me in tears.
:lugs ears::
lalalalalalala that never happened!!
It's not the fans, it's the writers.
The more I look at the older comics from Hard Travelling Heroes to the Satellite era JLA to Grell's run to Dixon's, the more I think that these two were always meant to break apart at some point and that 21st century are only throwing them back together out of a misguided sense of nostalgia. Nothing I've read has ever sold me on these two as a couple.
I believe Jose Luis Garica-Lopez drew this piece.
