DC Comics Women – The Shadow Of Their Past

by Jill Pantozzi | 10:18 am, April 19th, 2012


French artist/graphic designer Lily’s Factory has come up with a really interesting way to show the previous lives of some of our favorite DC Comics women. Above of course is Batwoman, continue on for the Birds of Prey and a few of their friends and foes. 

I just really, really love the subtlety of these. They’re so good I can’t even pick a favorite. Ok, Harley, since you asked.

Which is your favorite?

    Batwoman is my favorite, but they are all gorgeous! I’d love to see Lily do some covers for some of the DC books.

    Marvelous (excuse the puun) graphics!  I loved the way the elements all came together in balanced fashion.  Braggadocio is very much the right font for these.

    Oh wow.  It *is* hard to pick a favourite.  Poison Ivy is one of the most subtle — it took me a moment to pick out, “Oh, that’s her lab coat”.  And Oracle is one of the strongest.

    Man, I just want to get the Birds of Prey set: Oracle, Black Canary, Huntress, and Zinda.

    I miss Oracle.  :(
