If they use models holding up each comic in the next grading contest I might wind up grading each book a 36C.

There was once a fellow selling a silver platter on eBay. You could clearly see he was wearing no pants…

Far worse than some cleavage…

I remember when girls were required to wear dresses/skirts to school, and how they were often asked to kneel down so the distance from their knee to the hem could be measured. Were the administrators at my school being misogynistic toward these girls? Or, even worse, were they "creeps?"

All signs point to yes.

Hey it's proven for over a century to work in many industries why not comics...

It's actually been proven to work in comics for almost a century.

Honestly, none of you have heard women collectors decry the way most women are depicted in today's comics? You might want to check out the controversy of the Manara variant cover of Spider-Woman #1. The same could be said about many of the early Image comics, especially those drawn by Rob Liefeld.

 

Nobody liked the way they were depicted by Rob Liefeld. 

And yes, Manara is a terrific artist, but anyone who has seen his body of work would be leary about having him do regular western comic covers. That situation was bound to happen.

But that’s an Adam Hughes cover.

Which is the comic book equivalent of classical art figurework.

It’s an admittedly fine line.

 

I have closely scrutinized that cover, and have not figured out where he put the "AH!"

I may have to go back and look closely again. For the culture.

Buy the book, not the headlights.

Oh my. What could she be implying? And showing that amount of leg? Those ankles! The behavior of that scantly dressed hussy - I bet she does the marijuana. In this decadent society nobody is safe. Think of the children everyone! The children!

Is the word "clad" censored on this forum or what?
