Sometimes, a costume comes along that's so hideous, there's just nothing I can say that will add anything...mainly because you might already be blinded by the sheer ugliness. Ladies and gentleman: Marvel's own Boomerang!!
Ye gods.
The sad part is, Boomy's right...it is a huge improvement over his original costume:
Credit (or blame) goes to John Buscema and Mike Esposito in Tales to Astonish #87 (1967) for the "new improved" Boomerang. The original Boomy appearance, in TTA #81 (1966) has a cover by the King--and perhaps inked by Bill Everett--and interiors of "layouts" by Kirby and "art" by Everett, so I'm not sure whom Mr. Blackwell can go after in that one.
Seriously, these make even his dorky 80s costume look cool and sophisticated...
