Oracle—who offers (sometimes unwanted) counsel via satellite uplink—the
Canary is assisted by unlikely allies such as Catwoman, the Huntress and
Lois Lane! Along the way, the duo face drug smugglers, human slave traders
and a man who has wronged not only the Canary, but the Catwoman and Huntress
as well! Written by Chuck Dixon (with Jordan B. Gorfinkel), and illustrated
by Gary Frank & John Dell, Haley & Von Grawbadger, Stefano Raffaele
& Bob McLeod, and Jennifer Graves & Stan Woch, this collection reprints
