Description

What Simone and Benes did with Birds of Prey is right up there with the best runs of the last 25 years in my book. They refreshed and evolved a title that continues to be a mainstay of DC today. By #72, Benes was only occasionally providing interior pencils. But he always knocked it out of the park when he did.

Turning a few largely over to Huntress and Vixen, you can see that Gail was trying to polish them both up as well. And Benes knew exactly what to do with them. Yes, there is cheesecake on this page but its in the context of strong storytelling and compliments the character development that Gail was doing (at least that is what I tell myself). Two of my favorite characters that were rarely in better hands.

Bought this from Antonio, who was kind enough to ship it from Spain, during CAL fall 2024.

That's some elastic anatomy in the central panel but I agree with you that Simone/Benes was a great and energic run.

Soooo true and sooo Benes. He never met an body he couldn't stretch or contort. I really enjoy his work.
