First One-Shot

Before becoming an ongoing series in 1999, the concept had to prove itself; in June 1996, Birds of Prey launched as a single-issue special titled Black Canary/Oracle: Birds Of Prey #1.

Black Canary/Oracle: Birds Of Prey #1

Mini-Series & 3 More One-Shots

The standalone story garnered enough sales to convince DC to publish a 4-issue mini-series, Black Canary / Oracle: Birds of Prey: Manhunt (September-December 1996).

Still bringing in readers, three more one shots followed:

Revolution (June 1997);
Wolves (October 1997);
Batgirl (February 1998).

Black Canary/Oracle: Birds Of Prey: Revolution #1 (June, 1997)

Black Canary/Oracle: Birds Of Prey: Wolves #1 (October, 1997)

Birds Of Prey: Black Canary/Batgirl #1 (February, 1998)

On the letters page at the end of Birds Of Prey: Black Canary/Batgirl, another special, Siege, was solicited, but it was never published; DC greenlit an ongoing Birds of Prey series and Siege became an arc later on. While the previous follow-ups had launched at an interval of approximately every six months, Birds of Prey went nearly a year between the publication of Birds Of Prey: Black Canary/Batgirl and the first issue of the ongoing (Vol. 1, Jan 1999).
