In a function spotlighting a few of the much less well-known jobs of superheroes, CSBG seems to be at Dick Grayson’s transient tenure as a male mannequin.
That is “Working for a Whereas,” a function that spotlights the lesser-known jobs that our favourite superheroes have had over time (principally of their secret identities, however typically I am going to function examples of jobs superheroes have had of their costumed identities, as properly).
Immediately, primarily based on a suggestion by Flavio S., we have a look at Nightwing’s transient profession as a male mannequin.
It began it Nightwing #118 (by Bruce Jones, Joe Dodd and Bit), the place Dick Grayson strikes to New York Metropolis and shortly finds himself having fun with fairly a one evening stand with an attractive thriller girl…
Within the subsequent difficulty, he discovers her title is Cheyenne Freemont and that she is a profitable designer. He goes to go to her at her workplaces and, properly, one factor results in one other and thru a sequence of misunderstandings, Dick Grayson has change into knowledgeable male mannequin…
I like Cheyenne’s response when she walks in on Dick within the loincloth.
Within the subsequent difficulty (now pencils by Paco Diaz), Cheyenne decides to design a brand new line of garments primarily based on superhero costumes, with Nightwing being her lead design…
That is naturally fairly awkward for Dick…
He goes by with it, however then Jason Todd (who had additionally moved to New York and started to decorate up as Nightwing, too – that man can by no means provide you with his personal identification) interrupts the proceedings…
They’ve an enormous combat and everybody thinks it’s an superior publicity stunt…
Dick is disgusted, although, so he quits. Cheyenne goes to woo him again and discovers that he’s ACTUALLY Nightwing!
Properly, guess what, seems that Cheyenne has telekinetic powers (What is that this comedian ebook?) and within the subsequent difficulty, she and Dick must rescue Jason and she or he designs herself her personal Nightwing costume…
Issues are hit or miss with Dick and Cheyenne over the subsequent few points and at last, in Jones’ last difficulty on the ebook, in Nightwing #124 (artwork by Robert Teranishi and Wes Craig), they break issues off as Cheyenne heads to Hollywood to change into a film costume designer and Dick is out of a job…
Because of Flavio for the suggestion!
