If you’ve been around Girl-Wonder for long–or if you have any truck with the online community of comics artists–then you’re probably familiar with Dean Trippe. In addition to starting the now-famous Batgirl and Supergirl redesign memes (and, most recently, the Stephanie Brown redesign meme!), Dean is a founding member of Project Rooftop, draws and writes the awesome webcomic Butterfly, and makes some of the best superhero–especially female superhero–art you’ll see. This original drawing, one of Dean’s contributions to his Stephanie Brown / Robin redesign meme, is no exception:

The starting bid for this item will be U.S. $35. BID HERE!

You’ll be able to bid on this and other items in the Girl-Wonder Art Et Cetera Auction, from October 7-14, 2007!

The Dead Robins

Really excellent column at Newsarama today about the dead Robins, Jason Todd and Stephanie Brown.
Here’s an excerpt from the column:

Now, this is not to say that a Robin IV memorial would be inappropriate, or that Batman shouldn’t remember Stephanie — because it’s eminently appropriate, and he should remember her. “Robin” isn’t just Batman’s most trusted associate, s/he’s the No. 1 kid sidekick in all of comics. As Spoiler, Stephanie was a supporting character; but as Robin, she was a headliner — a minor-leaguer “called up.” This distinguishes her from her predecessors, each of whom became Robin based at least in part on an emotional connection to Batman. Still, a lightened-up Batman can appreciate the distinctions, mourning both the son he “lost” and the girl he promoted. In fact, I’d say that a Stephanie Brown memorial would help illustrate the newfound sensitivity that 52’s year off was supposed to give Batman. Since, y’know, it’s all about Batman.
