A beautifully drawn page that also happens to be a crucial moment in Bat-lore from the great Don Heck! After Batgirl aids an overwhelmed Commissioner Gordon in taking down a group of cop-killing radicals (who were themselves being set up by the mob!), all that's left is for the two definitely-not-related crimefighters to head home. Heck's inking is outstanding here, especially in the close shot of Gordon's face in the the third panel. The most notable thing about this page however is that it reveals that Gordon, through some deductive reasoning worthy of the Dark Knight, has known for a while now that his daughter is Batgirl. Pencil and ink on art board. 10 1/2" x 16".
