Black Canary's Perch - Page 5 


Back to the Basics


    In recent years many old time Black Canary fans have been shocked by the
changes she has endured.  First her costume changed to a blue and black
tracksuit in the wake of the Legends series and the formation of the Justice
League International.  Then she was brutally tortured in Mike Grell's Green
Arrow : The Longbow Hunters miniseries losing her Canary Cry and traumatised
to the point of nearly abandoning crimefighting.  Fortunately that didn't last
and she returned in Birds of Prey with a costume that, if not as good as the
original, was a distinct improvement over the JLI one.
    While she spends most of her time kicking ass these days she still manages
to get in the odd bind.  As a DC fan remarked to me upon seeing BODY DOUBLES 2,
"You can take the sexy costume, the sonic whammy and even the wig, but you
can't take the bondage away from a superheroine like BC."  He's right and to
prove it here are the panels that provoked the comment.
    First a brief explanation, two professional assassins who believe in
killing in sexy style find themselves forced to work for a sadistic alien
warrior queen, Mystress.  Mystress is looking forward to chowing down on the
life force of superheroines and the Body Double duo are forced to provide the
buffet.  All of which leads to this scene.









That's what she's up to lately.  Like to see how she debuted in the Golden Age?
