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)

OCW - December 12 - Magpie

OCW for this week is:

Magpie

Margaret Pye was no ordinary jewel thief. A curator driven crazy by all the "shiny pretty things" at the museum where she worked, Magpie turned to a life of crime. Going up against DC's finest heroes, she was put away by the first Post-Crisis team-up of Superman and Batman. Magpie was later killed in a revenge plot by the Great White Shark (who?) and recently popped up in the mini-series Blackest Night.

Will Magpie be the White Lantern? Doubtful!

OCW- Magpie

Margret Pie- magpie... get it?
