Thats crazy. The Dazzler and Kraven costumes rule.

I was going to defend Dazzler too, but then I realized I was thinking of:

Yes, they do.

ruling != well-dressed

I am now obsessed with rockin' the Kraven this halloween.

Skintight leopardspot capri pants, eh?

Pretty macho.

I love Craven's dainty ballet shoes

I hate Firestorm's outfit, esp the puffy sleeves and giant shoulder pads

That one's a classic, shurely?

― Chuck_Tatum (Chuck_Tatum), Monday, 22 August 2005 17:13 (twenty years ago)

Totally classic. It's so Kirbyish.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 22 August 2005 17:14 (twenty years ago)

no it's awful - what's up with that white belt and all the gaudy patterns round his chest - plus puffy sleeves - nooo, he is like an atomic ice figure skater. As Daphne and Celeste once wisely said - its U.G.L.Y

― Mark C (Markco), Monday, 22 August 2005 17:38 (twenty years ago)

Granted, it's no Nightwing.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 22 August 2005 17:40 (twenty years ago)

I love the shoulder pads!!! So eighties!

I'd like to know what the fuck Alex Ross was thinking...

Alex Ross was thinking...
"I wonder how much I can get away with?"

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 22 August 2005 19:58 (twenty years ago)

Hahahahahaha okay that one is a little too Ross-y.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Monday, 22 August 2005 20:01 (twenty years ago)

Isn't that one of the Captain Atom looks they created for the 1980's series???. I thought it was and they were just reusing it. If it's not that way, I think he looked like that before, at least at the beggining of the "Formerly Known As The Justice League" miniseries.

I like Paralax's costume, also.

I believe this falls in the category of, if you can pull it off...

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 01:21 (twenty years ago)

Cloak and Dagger

Cloak and Dagger rule! Up there with Jude the Entropic Man.

Can I ask someone to post a picture of early doors Scarlet Witch with a red box on her head please.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 10:32 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I'll do it myself:
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Labyrinth/5357/wanda8.jpg

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 12:18 (twenty years ago)

Is her mutant power to get her waist shrink like that?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 12:19 (twenty years ago)

It wa snever clear exactly WHAT her mutant power was except to wear a red box on her head and look silly. And DESTROY TEH AVENGERS!

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

didn't she have the power to fill her womb with imaginary babies?

― Mark C (Markco), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 12:27 (twenty years ago)

No way she could give birth with a body like that! Or at least she's require a heavy Cesarian...

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 12:29 (twenty years ago)

That's why they were imaginary.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 12:30 (twenty years ago)

The android was just a fertility beard!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 12:43 (twenty years ago)

Just as the costume was a sexiness beard.

(I might be using "beard" wrong.)

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:03 (twenty years ago)

I think you are David. The correct usage is as in:

Katie Holmes in Tom Cruise's beard.
Catwoman is Batman's Beard.
Thor is by Odin's Beard.

It's a long story...

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:33 (twenty years ago)

Its amazing that every website I try to get a copy of the appalling Black Canary late eighties costume does not allow remote linking or even copying. Its almost as if they are doing it for the good of mankind.

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:00 (twenty years ago)

ha ha, I was looking for that last night too and also was thwarted by "right click disabled"

it was a truly hideous outfit. there is a cover to one comic that shows her burning it whilst wearing her classic old skool outfit.

Pink pyjamas Brainiac should be in this thread too.

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:15 (twenty years ago)

Pre or Post Byrne?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

Hahahaha do Black Canary and Zatanna use the same fashion consultant???

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:59 (twenty years ago)

Gowns by Julie Schwartz.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 19:33 (twenty years ago)

1980s Phantom Lady with the goggles, though at the time I thought she was sexy.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 19:43 (twenty years ago)

is that Action Weekly cover by Chaykin?

― kit brash (kit brash), Thursday, 25 August 2005 05:12 (twenty years ago)

Brian Bolland, unless I'm very much mistaken.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 25 August 2005 07:05 (twenty years ago)

Bolland is correct. This was during Chaykin's "all Blackhawk, all the time" phase.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 25 August 2005 12:29 (twenty years ago)

Okay, I just looked at the cover again and surely instead of Black Canary her name should be Black Torpedo Tits?

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Thursday, 25 August 2005 12:34 (twenty years ago)

black canary powers = sonic scream and superhuman underwiring

― Mark C (Markco), Thursday, 25 August 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

I think the edge of her bolero jacket is making her look more torpedo-ish than necessary. Though of course the existence of said jacket brings it's own problems.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 25 August 2005 12:59 (twenty years ago)

i vote for cloud in both incarnations, (could not find a decent scan so using these)

You've got to be kidding, H.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Thursday, 25 August 2005 13:34 (twenty years ago)

(Meaning "There isn't really a character out there with THAT as an outfit!")

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Thursday, 25 August 2005 13:37 (twenty years ago)

Actually, Blackhawk at that time was being written by Marty Pasko and drawn by Rick Burchett...in Action Comics Weekly, no less!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 25 August 2005 13:40 (twenty years ago)

hah, you missed Cloud? New Defenders, um mid-80s, alien being who could switch genders

― H (Heruy), Thursday, 25 August 2005 13:45 (twenty years ago)

oh lord, just checked on cloud and i had forgotten it was the cosmic cube in human form, typically convoluted history here http://www.marveldirectory.com/individuals/k/kubik.htm

― H (Heruy), Thursday, 25 August 2005 13:56 (twenty years ago)

I have seen that page before, in connection with a friend's man-crush on MODOK. The thing I love most about that convoluted history is that the inventors of MODOK are: George Clinton and Bernard Worrell.

I mean, shit, goddamn.

Get off your ass and jam.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Thursday, 25 August 2005 14:05 (twenty years ago)

haha, i had totally missed that

― H (Heruy), Thursday, 25 August 2005 14:09 (twenty years ago)

I'm pretty sure Chaykin did a Blackhawk cover or two for ACW actually - which is probably why I thought it might be him. it's very spare for Bolland!
