Oracle - Year One: Born of Hope

The lead story in The Batman Chronicles #5, written by John Ostrander and Kim Yale with art by Brian Stelfreeze and Karl Story. The piece picks up roughly ten weeks after the events of The Killing Joke, with Barbara Gordon in hospital and working her way through the recovery, the grief, and the rage that will push her to take on the name Oracle. The story is widely cited as the foundational text for Ostrander and Yale's reinvention of Barbara Gordon.
