But as of recently I remember where else we've seen her working with the Suicide Squad. She appeared in issue #1 of the original Deadshot mini-series along with Rick Flag, Waller and Flo Crowley. In that issue she's sent to save Deadshot who is in a free fall plunging to his death after having ruptured the fuselage of a plane filled with high level drug dealers he provoked a fire fight with. You see a little bit of that clip art in the Deadshot DC super villains Youtube video I featured a few postings back. And we've also seen her fighting along side other Squad members against the alien alliance in the INVASION mini series: http://siskoid.blogspot.com/2008/05/ambush-bug-cameos-invasion.html
It happens to be the day after I originally published this posting that I stumbled upon this Enchantress fan art. As many of you know Enchantress was with the Squad from the very beginning up until the mid teens but would manifest herself here and there in various ways through out the series. I felt adding this fine piece of art would be a nice way to "augment" this posting. I'm definitely getting an Elvira kinda vibe from this. Along with quite bit of blood flow to my lower abdominal area, go figure.
One last thing, our favorite DC 52 Mystery Science Theater 3000 style reviewer covered Suicide Squad #23. I won't get a chance to thoroughly read it till later today but among other things there may be a possible Nightshade appearance: http://tessatechaitea.tumblr.com/post/55788387389/suicide-squad-22
Wow! Nice find, Ben. Frank would be a great addition to the book, huh?
ReplyDeletewell, as a fantasy artist i don't think we would find Frank Frazetta doing the interior art but maybe the cover or some sort of special insert. he did the cover art for a ton of Heavy Metal magazine issues. and also it depends which Suicide Squad we're talking about. his talents would be completely wasted on the new book as far as i'm concerned but that can be said for everyone who's involved on the production of it.
DeleteHoly cow! That's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Frazetta's Black Orchid, I mean!.
ReplyDeleteEverything he does is amazing after all
Now the Enchantress seems to be developing an alergy. If she doesn't receive the antihistamines soon, she won't be able to breath :)
Just saying...
You can never go wrong with Frank Frazetta, ever!
ReplyDeleteCool Enchantress art as well. That reminds me, did you ever pick up the Flashpoint Secret Seven mini-series? It features her in the main role opposite the Shade. It's really, really good.
hey folks it's not Frank Frazetta i only said that Black Orchid fan art looks like Frazetta's style in my posting.
ReplyDeleteAh, you are correct sir. My apologies to Tony De Zaunga, who used to draw a lot of DC's comics back in the day, especially Jonah Hex for a stretch.
ReplyDeletenow that i did not know, thanks bro.
DeleteOh!
ReplyDeleteMy bad...
You know who would do great commissions? Geof Isherwood. He's easy to reach via Facebook.
ReplyDeleteAlso on FB is John Ostrander (and Luke McDonnell!)... John is indeed still writing comics, his health seems to be better, and he still has an awesome weekly column:

thanks for that link. as it turns out i posted a really nice Isherwood piece back in 2011 on a May 5th posting. the next posting coming up soon is going to be a real treat for Oracle/Barbara Gordon fans.
DeleteIsherwood is one of those guys that has my eye. His style is something to aspire to. Tony de Zanuga has done a damn good rendition of Black Orchid, one of my favorite Squad members. Her original outfit is so elegant and sexy. The new version is so left field to me. But 52 is just that, sorta left sorta right.
