The minute I laid eyes on this fan art I thought of fantasy artist Frank Frazetta. And for those of you who know Frazetta's work (which should be all of you) that is some high praise for artist Tony de Zanuga who did this Black Orchid rendering. I've blogged about Black Orchid a couple of times here before with her having been one of the non convict members of the Squad who appeared in about a dozen issues in the original series. Certainly one of the more mysterious members of The Squad Black Orchid had some kind of arrangement with Waller for which in exchange for her services from time to time she was given a certain amount of access to Belle Reve's information resources: http://siskoid.blogspot.com/2011/03/task-force-x-retirement-files-020-023.html
But as of recently I remember where else we've seen her working with the Suicide Squad. She appeared in issue #1 of the original Deadshot mini-series along with Rick Flag, Waller and Flo Crowley. In that issue she's sent to save Deadshot who is in a free fall plunging to his death after having ruptured the fuselage of a plane filled with high level drug dealers he provoked a fire fight with. You see a little bit of that clip art in the Deadshot DC super villains Youtube video I featured a few postings back. And we've also seen her fighting along side other Squad members against the alien alliance in the INVASION mini series: http://siskoid.blogspot.com/2008/05/ambush-bug-cameos-invasion.html
It happens to be the day after I originally published this posting that I stumbled upon this Enchantress fan art. As many of you know Enchantress was with the Squad from the very beginning up until the mid teens but would manifest herself here and there in various ways through out the series. I felt adding this fine piece of art would be a nice way to "augment" this posting. I'm definitely getting an Elvira kinda vibe from this. Along with quite bit of blood flow to my lower abdominal area, go figure.
One last thing, our favorite DC 52 Mystery Science Theater 3000 style reviewer covered Suicide Squad #23. I won't get a chance to thoroughly read it till later today but among other things there may be a possible Nightshade appearance: http://tessatechaitea.tumblr.com/post/55788387389/suicide-squad-22

An illustration style I'd like to see for other Suicide Squad characters too
