Here's a pinup from the Women of Marvel magazine, this time it's Bruce Timm giving us his favorite Marvel super-ladies.
No doubt you've seen this pinup before, but the size and clarity of this scan made it worth posting here. What I like about this is the love he has for the supporting characters like Crystal, Clea, Hela, Sif, etc. This makes me yearn for a Bruce Timm animated special featuring the Lady Liberators. Nuff Said!
Here are few pieces to drive you Marvelously Crazy this fine April Fools Day…
This cover to Crazy #1 (1972) by Marie Severin features Forbush-Man summing up the spirit of the early 1970s anti-war protests: Support peace, you super-baddies, or we’ll clobber ya!
Forbush-Man: a character I thought would have taken off more! He looks to be making a comeback in next week’s parody special (of Captain America), Who Won’t Wear the Shield?
What happens when Nick Fury goes scuba diving on vacation? As Bruce Timm sees it, he just can’t stop taking all of his gear along with him, much to Val’s chagrin. Perhaps Hydra was about to strike? It’s a fine homage to Steranko’s covers and penchant for pockets and gear.
It really cracks me up that Fury is smoking a cigar inside that helmet!
Bruce Timm again, drawing the scene that John Buscema forgot in Silver Surfer #3. Silly, but as a kid, I did always wonder why the Surfer never rammed anyone in the gut.
Last and certainly least, a terribly Inhuman pun. Nuff Said!
