  Flesh and Blood
Weird Sisters and Punishing Mothers
Iris Shaw, the first female Crow.

I have always lived in the world of books and stories. Unfortunately, most comic book heroines were either far too sexy, or far too weak to be of much inspiration to me. Those that I have found that I can identify with have been a great inspiration to me, so I have created this site to honor them.

Please note: This is a personal site, included are some images that I have scanned myself, and others that I have gleaned from the web over some time. I would love to give credit where credit is due, but quite simply, I'm not sure where I got some of them. I will be glad to give you credit if it's yours, just e-mail me.



Introduction to The Crow: Flesh & Blood, by Nancy Collins

"I grew up reading comics. That, in and of itself, wouldn't surprise anyone. However, the fact that I am a woman and say that often does. One of my earliest memories is of pawing through my older cousin's stash of dogeared funny books, glomming onto such titles as "Herbie", "Little Lulu", "Super Goof" and "Fantastic Four". I was always something of a tomboy, but once I got past a certain age I was discouraged from climbing trees, investiagting abandoned barns, and fishing for crawdads in the bayou and encouraged to engage in more "suitable" activities like ballet class, Girl Scouts and Future Homeamkers of America meetings. Needless to say, that's when I began reading comic books in earnest, desperate and most young readers are, for some action-filled adventure to project myself into to alleviate my boredom. Unfortunately, being female, I found precious little to identify with."
