A blast from the past: Gotham Girls (and BoP)
Not too long ago, Warner Brothers made the announcement that they were releasing the entire 13-episode run of the BIRDS OF PREY TV show on DVD. And, as a bonus feature, they're including the 30+ episodes of the Gotham Girls web cartoon.
As many of you know, that cartoon holds a special place in my heart, because it was the inspiration for my 5-issue Gotham Girls mini-series at DC. Watching the fun and quirky webisodes, I thought to myself, "I don't know why DC isn't doing a comic to tie in with this!" So I pitched one. DC decided that, for once, I wasn't completely mad and agreed that it would be a good idea.
Anyway in honor of the DVD release of the web 'toon, James Harvey of World's Finest Online, one of the premiere websites for info about cartoons based on DC Comics, got in touch and asked me a few questions about Gotham Girls. You can find the answers in a brief article titled Storrie Provides Update on "Gotham Girls" on World's Finest.
There's also a bit of news there about some recent honors for some of my past projects and a brief mention of a new one due out any time now from Moonstone Books. Perhaps this will serve as a prod to get me to actually post of those here?
Speaking of Birds of Prey, although many people were dissatisfied with the live-action TV show, it holds a certain nostalgia for me, in that I wrote written a story for the anthology based on the show that DC had in the works when the show was canceled. Although that story never saw print, it did lead to my being offered a slot in Birds of Prey Secret Files 2003.
