As of April, 8, 2008, the
Project Girl Wonder Campaign is no longer being actively pursued by
Girl-Wonder.org. This site now serves instead as an archive of Mary
Borsellino's remarkable work. The Girl-Wonder.org board would like to
thank all those who participated in the initial campaign, and encourages
anyone who feels moved to contact DC Comics regarding the return of
Spoiler.
A generation of Batman readers grew up with Stephanie Brown,
who was a superhero character in the comics for more than a decade. She
was a role model and hero for many. Then she was tortured to death in a
sequence spanning a number of issues. She was treated as a sexual object, and her murder degraded her and
degraded superhero comics in general. She has never gotten the credit
she deserves from DC Comics since, on page or off.
Batman and other superhero stories are the modern age's fables, and if we don't stop the spread of this rot
now they will be irrevocably corrupted by it.
Stephanie Brown is a symbol of the need for change. And we're going to see that the change begins.
