BLACK WIDOW TRADE PAPERBACK Black Widow September 2001 Written by Devin Grayson and Greg Rucka. Art by J.G. Jones and Scott Hampton. Natasha Romanov has always led an exciting life—first as a Soviet spy, fighting on the Cold War front-line, followed by her defection to the West. She has earned a reputation over the years as a consummate professional, coldly efficient and as deadly as her namesake. Now, her time as Black Widow may be at an end. Yelena Belova, the new Black Widow, seeks to claim the mantle she feels was stolen from her Motherland. Trained in the arts of espionage and combat, and anxious to prove herself and eliminate her counterpart, Belova will stop at nothing to achieve her goal. The two women's battle rages from the deserts of the Middle East to New York's Upper West Side. When the smoke clears, will either Widow be left standing?
