I admit that I learned the Silk Spectre existed after watching the very first Watchmen trailer and her costume did me in completely [and that scene, where she busts from the flaming roof]... I did the necessary research and reviewed the Watchmen comics and I still felt a mighty pull to the Silk Spectre, especially now that I have read Birds of Prey and have seen the connection between her and the Black Canary [which is the character upon which the Silk Spectre is based]. There are two Spectres, one is the mother and the second [the one in the pictures] her daughter, which more or less overlaps with the Canary as a superheroine. Both also rely on hand to hand combat and not on special powers even though the second Canary has that sonic scream thing. I would also be lying if I say that the costume does nothing to increase my interest... Just stating the obvious.

Harry, I'm sorry I can't comment on this post articulately, but I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Kafka on the Shore!!!
I already posted the review. Maybe I didn't link it up on the challenge blog... I will remedy that asap.
And I would be lying if I didn't agree with you regarding her costume!
I think that the costume alone aided her popularity than anything else she might have done, because even in the comics she was in the background.
