Birds of Prey v1 #109
This is one of the few Bop pages that I get credited for a lot that I didn’t write.
It was written by the great Tony Bedard, one of the most underrated writers out there. Smart, imaginative, with great empathy and plotting skills, the fact that he’s not a household name is just a crime.
Many times, even when friends wrote the Secret Six, or the Tranquility characters, or even the Boppers during my tenure, it would be a little painful. It often felt that the surface characteristics would be there, but the subtext that gave them life would be missing (I am not putting on airs, I’ve made the same mistake myself, more than once).
Tony wrote the Boppers in his own style, but it still FELT like the Boppers. Here, he has a very tricky and funny and sexy scene, it’s very much about the characters, not the titillation (although, hell, there’s some pretty good titillation). Sigh.
Great writer, sad his run didn’t last.
Will always reblog Scandal and Knockout.
