What's the Buzz?

  It's been quite a long while since a box arrived at our house with a DC Comics return address, so I got a surprise when I came home from an afternoon bike ride and discovered a fairly sizable one. Inside was a statue of the Bumblebee, one of the series of "DC Bombshells."

  I created the Bumblebee as a member of the Teen Titans back in the mid-1970s. She was largely ignored after the series ended, but has become a prime component in DC's Superhero Girls series.

 

A recent McDonald's Happy Meal promotion included a Bumblebee figure as one of the toys.

  She's had a variety of looks over the years, but it is quite a kick to see a character I created as an important component of DC's line four decades later.
