Females in mainstream comics are constantly being drawn with less and less clothing. Sometimes males get the same treatment. For example- Namor is usually only wearing a speedo in most of his appearances. But females almost always gets the ‘bikini’ treatment or centerfold treatment. Males are so neglected. These covers were meant to be a parody created by Brett White, but as a gay geek, I welcome them! I’d love to see more comic book covers like this.
Note- These covers were created as a response to the variant cover being released of an over-sexualized Spider-Woman in November (pictured below…way below)
Here’s the sexy Spider-Woman variant cover that everyone is talking about. Although, next to a cover of Spider-Man, it’s really that bad. Spider-Man’s nice tight ass is being shown pretty dominant in his cover.
Spider-Woman’s costume appears to be merely body paint….
These are awesome. And yes, the over-sexualization of women has gotten pretty pathetic. I’m okay with men and women looking hot in comics, and even being scantily clad at times, but this is just desperation.
I still own the MARVEL SWIMSUIT ISSUES which most of those images are from..
Holy crap you are right! These are that old? I guess they had a different perspective back in the 90s. It’s pretty awesome.
This makes me recall at an image from the Xmen Inferno storyline. I recall having a sudden interest in Havok. http://thevanguarduk.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/havokinf.jpg
