Review of
Marvel
Swimsuit Special 1993
Five out of five stars
This issue is an
obvious parody of the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. In this case,
the images are artwork of Marvel comic book heroes and villains wearing skimpy
outfits that bulge in the proper locations. The premise is that the troll Pip
wins Infinity Gems in a poker game and uses them to transport the hero babes
and brawn to Monster Island for a massive party.
It is a series
of pinups where the women are wearing very skimpy outfits and seem in a state
of bliss, with seductive smiles atop sensual poses. The male heroes are hunks
with bulging muscles and big vees down below. Exactly what will generate
interest in early adolescent readers.
Each image has
a short caption describing the character and the context in which they appear. All
of it is in fun, as it is all posing and no fighting action. It is an enjoyable
interlude, for it presents the heroes as human, with the desire to be
attractive and have an opportunity to relax from the stress of saving the
world.
