Costume Pics: Dr. Jonathan Crane/The Scarecrow

Another character that first appeared in the 1940s, Dr. Jonathan Crane aka The Scarecrow has had many subtle variations to his costume over the years.  Arguably the most popular is the version from the 1970s through the 1990s, as used by Denny O'Neil and drawn famously by Jim Aparo and Kelly Jones.  This Scarecrow, unlike the others, is pretty much faceless, giving a sort of 80s slasher-film quality to the character.  To help us bring this iconic version of the Scarecrow to our wedding, we asked Katherine L. Brown of Lakewood, Ohio.  She's a school teacher, and doesn't do costuming or sewing professionally--but in our opinion, she should.  She did one hell of a job.  Our friend Rufus is the one in the costume, by the way.
