Marvel Swimsuit Edition

Look what I´ve stumbled over:
Marvel Swimsuit Edition

*you know you want to click*



Wow.....wow



To me it seems as if Cap is feeling a little uncomfortable there, judging by the look upon his face



I just knew Tony had Stark Enterprises or something on his swim suit
(btw, the next page features Strange surrounded by Tony´s absent "usual bery of female companions"...)
but the frog-lizard thing still loves him^^



It´s good to be the ki-Tony Stark!
(There´s another page of him in one volume, but it features a dreadful mullet and a not very good looking Tony, so I didn´t post it)



What is more amusing? That Thor&Hercules&She-Hulk play that game against 6 normal humans(except IM)?
That Tigra´s bathing suit covers a lot more skin than her usual costume?
Cap and the others in masks and swim suits?
Or Ironman wearing trunks over his armor?

The Marvel swimsuit editions are a magical thing of utter crack, even if they do suffer from bad 90s art in a lot of places. One of the swim suit issues featured Frank Castle in a skull-shaped thong. No, really. Also "naked" Ghostrider laying in the surf in a pin-up pose with a half-melted bottle on sunblock next to him, surronded by a cloud of steam.

Tony is way over-muscled in both pictures, alas, but that's parr for the course for the 90s (he's also lacking the shrapnel-scarring he really ought by all logic to have, but they almost always leave that out), but it's the cocktail in his hand in the second one that really makes me go WTF. Well, that and Steve's horrid hair in the first picture.

(best scans_daily comment I saw on the Steve & Diamondback picture: "Get a better beard, Cap. This one's tacky.")

"Get a better beard, Cap. This one's tacky."

Oh god, motto.

The drinking arc was early-80s.

The Rogue and Gambit one by Greg & Tim Hildebrant kills me with fangirl joy, though. My mom still has their 1970s Lord of the Ring calendar, and they illustrated my family's copy of The Night Before Christmas. The most influential artists of my childhood drawing my oldest comics OTP!
