OCW - December 12 - Magpie



TRULY BATMAN'S GREATEST VILLAIN.

I like to think of this as the "Bratz doll" interpretation of Magpie.

When Robb suggested this as our OCW, he had just lent me John Byrne's MAN OF STEEL which I believe is this charming villainess' first appearance and holeee mackerel SO 80's. (MAN OF STEEL was great fun but boy oh boy that Magpie is somethin' else)

I'm sorry I've fallen behind on our Obscure Character of the Week drawings but hopefully this makes up for it.

(unless you think it's awful--in which case, it doesn't)

  1. Tracie, that rocks! Awesome! And a wee bit cute. You nailed the sharp shoulder pads... and the sunglasses. Love it!

  2. For some reason this particular depiction reminds of the Neutrinos from the old TMNT cartoon... And what is it about 80's fashion that just lends itself to superhero costumes so well... And now I am thinking of the 1989 Batman soundtrack...
