Just making in time to catch the tail end of my beloved 80's was this half page house ad. The only half page one ever produced for the Squad I believe. As you can see here the team was made up of some of the same folks of today and some different ones. I believe Punch is dead, Ravan is also dead, Duchess went back to her former alias as Lashina, Vixen (currently with the JLA) had a different hair style back then, Shade The Changing Man was sent back to his own dimension by Darkside, I think that rapist piece of shit Dr. Light is dead now? And of course the original Boomerang is back thanks to the whole Blackest Night series. If I'm not up to date on anything here please feel free to enlighten me my good people. Boomerang looks coolest in this group shot. He's got the whole hip hop thug look going on. You can almost hear him saying "Watcha lookn at ya bleeder, ya want a razor rang up yer arse eh!?" I really think the redesign DC logo is pretty slick but there are times where I miss the classic one. A full page color house ad from DC of The Suicide Squad can be seen at: http://itsadansworld.blogspot.com/2011/02/dcs-80s-house-dr-fate-suicide-squad.html

Good for Vixen that she changed her hairstyle. Wolverine was probably sueing her.
ReplyDeleteHA! good catch, their similar hair styles never occurred to me after all these years.
ReplyDeleteIt was the hairstyle that became associated with feral characters for some reason.
ReplyDeleteand yet another good point i hadn't given any thought to over the years.
ReplyDeleteWolfsbane's early '90's look included the Flock of X-Seagulls look, as did Beast's do, and even Wild Child sported the mullet-like version of it.
ReplyDeleteDid any of you ever read Earth X? They used that whole hairstyle to explain...something. I'd have to reread it to remember what. It confused me at the time to. Man, I really miss the 80's sometimes.
ReplyDeleteWolverine and Dagger, at least that's who the costume reminds me of. Still it's better then what she earlier appeared in Action Comics and DC Comics Presents - theres a reason that stayed buried.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm curious... I didn't saw that.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! With the shiny metal breastplate and the yellow boots! I'd forgotten about that. Eeps. This was definitely an improvement. More Jackie Brown. Less, "Hey, can I even SEE out of this mask?"
ReplyDeleteTimber Wolf of the LSH had the "Wolver-Do" for a while there, too, folks :)
