Jul 6, 2021 · Learn how writer John Ostrander modernized the Suicide Squad in his 66-issue run from 1987-1992, and how his work inspired James Gunn's upcoming movie. Find out how Ostrander humanized the characters, introduced Oracle, and created the Dirty Dozen -esque team.
- Legends #3: Send For… the Suicide Squad! A sort of dry-run for Marvel’s two-decades-later Civil War, Darkseid uses Glorious Godfrey’s mob-whipping abilities to turn Earth against its heroes in this sprawling crossover plotted by Ostrander, having recently joined DC from First Comics.
- Secret Origins #14: The Secret Origin of the Suicide Squad! Lee Marvin’s Major Reisman, commander of the Dirty Dozen, is a no-nonsense soldier who got stuck with this chickenshit detail by pissing off the much-nonsense brass one too many times.
- Suicide Squad #2: Trial By Blood. Like the Dirty Dozen, the Squad’s first (official) mission involves an assault on a secluded mountain fortress, in this instance the hideout of The Jihad, a very un-PC band of super-powered terrorists-for-hire that would never, under any circumstances, get created today (not that I’m complaining).
- Suicide Squad #6: Hitting the Fan. Ostrander was unusually fond of Reagan-era Cold War shenanigans, but they did fuel some of his best stories. For once the DC brass let him use an actual A-list toys-have-been-made-of-me supervillain, the Penguin, and sets him up deftly as a master criminal strategist as well as a world-class bitcher.
