M. DeMatteis.[6] McDonnell was one of the contributors to the DC Challenge limited series[7] and then moved over to the Suicide Squad series written by John Ostrander.[8] Suicide Squad #23 (Jan. 1989) written by Ostrander and Kim Yale and drawn by McDonnell, featured Barbara Gordon, the former Batgirl, making her debut as Oracle.[9] The Ostrander, Yale, and McDonnell team produced a Deadshot limited series as well.[10] In 1995, McDonnell drew the final two issues of an Argus limited series after which his comics work has appeared only occasionally.[3]
