Jack C. Harris: Artist Trevor VonEeden and I proposed this super group to DC. I never got a good answer as to why is was rejected.

Trevor VonEeden: Wow! I'd completely forgotten all about this piece--I must've been REAL young, then! I can give you a good answer as to why it probably wasn't used--same reason why the co-creator of Black Lightning (and a fairly good artist, to boot) has not worked for DC Comics since 9/11--and was told, when asking for the opportunity to once again draw the very character that he'd co-created for them: "Try back in two weeks"...for the past TEN years! The reason is (still) RACISM. Ask Tony Isabella--he's the other co-creator of Black Lightning--and he's white!

has dc or marvel had an all female super group? btw - i really wish they had done that comic. esp with Enchantress as a wild card. I am assuming Babs (Batgirl) would have been the leader. nice balance of powers and personalities.

I've never even heard of DC's Enchantress character. Black Canary was a better choice, as her popularity helped sell Birds of Prey. The Title, 'Birds of Prey", is also much better.

Enchantress was (Still is? Not sure if she's alive.) a very powerful... enchantress. I first met her in Suicide Squad.

Enchantress was later in Shadowpact. (very underated comic.)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enchantress_(DC_Comics)

when this would have been published she was still June Moone, it would have been interesting to the two sides compete. i am guessing she would have been under the watchful eye of Supergirl.
