Lady Blackhawk (Zinda Blake) Appreciation 2022

[MajorHoy]

Don't know if we may ever get DC to bring her back, but one can always hope . . .

First appearance: Blackhawk #133 (February 1959):


First post-CoIE re-appearance:
Guy Gardner: Warrior #24 (September 1994)
<a Zero Hour tie-in>


And from Who's Who Update '87 Vol. 3 (Oct. 1987),

One of the best things to come out of Gail Simone's BoP .

This has been one of the biggest flaws of the DC Universe since the New 52 started. Gail gave Zinda one of the best personalities and an incredible back story, something that could easily be pulled out into some cool new stories.

Unfortunately, the New 52 gave us a new / different version of Blackhawks and a new / different "Lady Blackhawk"..

As far as I know, they never went back to the original version of Lady Blackhawk beyond this in Dark Nights: Metal #1.

Probably one of the most disappointing twists in comnics (and I say this as a Kendra fan).

What an intro .

That was such an amazing run.

Gail loves the “cheesecake” art, as she refers to it, so Benes was the perfect artist for her

The loss of the Gail Simone Birds of Prey take on Zinda was a DEVASTATING loss.
