Prince Namor!

Martian Manhunter (who apparantly needs braces to hold his speedos up--not a flattering notion)

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 14:45 (twenty years ago)

original robin wore speedos too, or were they hotpants?

― Mark C (Markco), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

I think it was chainmail underoos.

Do the Marvel Swimsuit Specials count? If they do, Gambit, Beast, Angel, Bishop, Cyclops, Dr. Strange... er, those are all the memories my mind will unblock at this point.

Dr. Manhattan!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 15:51 (twenty years ago)

when we're lucky

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 15:51 (twenty years ago)

I think we're lucky that Watchmen was drawn by someone not too concerned with rendering like Dave Gibbons. Imagine...IF YOU DARE...Dr. Manhattan as intricatedly rendered by Liefeld!!!

Does Hawkman sometimes rock the bikini briefs, or does he always wear his red & green leggings?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 16:02 (twenty years ago)

Dr. Manhattan as intricatedly rendered by Liefeld!!!

We'd be talking about his bodacious mantits. And his bridge work.

I think Ka-Zar wears Speedos under his loin cloth.

the spectre!!

Hercules wears furry Speedo-precursor!

Aqualad, no?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 19:50 (twenty years ago)

Do the Marvel Swimsuit Specials count?

I remember seeing one of these at a friend's house! A dorky, dorky friend! I had totally repressed the memory until now.

Was it Aldo Cowpat?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 20:11 (twenty years ago)

(see Aldo's pro-cheesecake post on this week's shipping thread)

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 20:13 (twenty years ago)

I'd rather see cheesecake.

Marvel Swimsuit Specials!!!!! with Dr Strange!!!! WTF

(haha, as if there is logic to a swimsuit special with ANY comic book character but still, and who bought these things, what were they thinking, creators and customers both?)

― H (Heruy), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 09:08 (twenty years ago)

IT WAS NOT ME.

(although I might have bought it had I known about it)

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 09:31 (twenty years ago)

I not only bought the swimsuit specials, I put the pictures on my bedroom walls.

― Madolan, Wednesday, 7 December 2005 16:47 (twenty years ago)

I think one of my friends used to buy them. Or maybe we just "read" them at the shop.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 16:52 (twenty years ago)

Speaking of cheesecake and speedos:

From N'rama (AH = Adam Hughes, btw)
NRAMA: You have a long association with Wonder Woman, is there any truth to the rumors that you are working on an All-Star Wonder Woman series?

AH: I am contractually obligated to neither confirm nor deny my participation in All-Star Wonder Woman. I am allowed to confirm that I am working on a 6-issue miniseries for DC Comics, and I have none of it done, as I have no script yet. Maybe Santa Claus will bring me one, I’ve been good all year.

You REALLY, REALLY don't want to click this link. NSFW (or home) (or anywhere)

This one is a little better. It's a blogpost about that wonderful issue of Brave & Bold where Black Canary appears in her underwear. Contains pictures of such.

At least he didn't depict Robin's redcap…

and i think i found the answer to my earlier question in this quote "Ahh the memories, I had my first chubbies because of those comics, God bless Marvel."

― H (Heruy), Thursday, 8 December 2005 06:49 (twenty years ago)

the talents of Jim Lee helped many go thru puberty

― kingfish trampycakes (kingfish 2.0), Thursday, 8 December 2005 06:56 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, how dare they not support remote linking of images for free accounts!
