Thanks, Graham & Tangent. I thought Barbara Gordon was Batgirl?

Was Batgirl:
Barbara Gordon is paralyzed by The Joker in the graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joke (1988). Editor Kim Yale and comic book author John Ostrander later reinvented Barbara Gordon as Oracle, the premiere information broker of the DC Comics Universe and leader of the Birds of Prey organization. Beginning in 1997, DC Comics began publishing "flashback" stories featuring Barbara Gordon as Batgirl, and those stories still appear (as of September 2008).

She was. She got shot by the Joker in her spine, leading to paralysis (now in wheelchair). She has recreated herself as a geek and central communications for the hero world and also runs a team named Birds of Prey, which includes Huntress and used to include Black Canary. Other sketches may include computers and/or headphone mikes to more clearly illuminate the Oracle role.

A Patrick Hamill commission I'll be picking up in Birmingham next month. It's the second card in my Dexter collection, In the top corner is Patrick's homage to Lila's painting of Dexter.
I love the colours.This message has been edited. Last edited by: AJJ, October 29, 2008 03:09 PM

I like the background on the Deadman card. Appropriate for today's holiday!

I'm selling a lot of my cards, but this one stays with me forever: Claire by Randy Siplon

That is a nice Claire sketch, nice lines, I love Siplon's work, unfortunately I don't have one of his sketches in my collection as of yet.

Got a Daniel Jackson sketch card so I'd have sketches of all 4 original SG1 team members.
I like the sketch but it is weird that all my others are pencil and this one has colour. Plus the artist put a sticky label on the back and I hope that won't damage the card over time.
