Giant-Size Marvel: July 2009. I've bought and sold (and re-bought) many classic comics in my time. But no matter what, I've always kept my very fine copy of Amazing Spider-Man 121 lovingly protected in mylar. I have to, it's the single most important comic that I've read in my entire life! I think a lot of comic readers in the baby boom generation would rank this issue very highly as well. You have to picture me in this time and place. It's 1973. I've been reading comics for about 4 years. Some comics are so eventful, I remember the time and place where I read them. You could tell ASM #121 was going to be a turning point.

By the time, I got to the end of the story, I couldn't believe what I had just read. Was Norman Osborn responsible for Gwen Stacy's death as well? The beautiful and twisted thing about this story is that we as readers have witnessed the truth in a way no other character in the story has. I still could not quite believe Gwen was dead, even with the full splash page at the very end of the story.

Swimsuit Issues: Marvel's Craziest Swimsuit Specials. With Halloween over, Summer is well and truly behind us, but those of you who miss sun, sand and swimsuits can take solace in the pages of the Mighty Marvel Swimsuit Specials! Produced yearly during the early and mid-90s as an alternative to the “Sports Illustrated” Swimsuit Issue that youngsters could con their parents into buying them as a comic book “investment,” the Marvel Swimsuit Specials were essentially books of pin-ups that saw heroes and villains taking time off from saving the world to catch some rays.

Psylocke, 1991What made them really strange, though, were the underlying plots that ran through each issue and resulted in some memorable insanity, which is why we’ve turned to ComicsAlliance contributor Chris Sims to grab his beach towel and bring us Marvel’s absolute strangest swimsuit shots! Especially when the artist in question is Jim Lee. The Punisher, 1993 If the Punisher has a super-power, it’s that he’s super-angry all the time.

And now you know why. Bullseye, 1994. Google Image Result for.

October 8th, 2009 | Comics As if objectifying the Disney Princes weren’t enough for one day, we also have this tasty tidbit. Some dude named Mindsweeper has Photoshopped some hot pics of superheroes. Love the objectifying of traditionally butch characters. Especially in genres that typically paint the female characters to be overly sexy, ridiculously thin, and/or frail/slutty.
