As much as folks might like to mock the "
leather coats and pouches" era of the
Avengers, that was nowhere
near the nadir. In
1993, after the
Image puppies abandoned
Marvel, apparently the orders came down that Marvel artists had damn well better
ape them as much as possible.
So, from
Avengers #363 (1993):
That's
Captain America, Crystal, the
Black Knight, Hercules and the
Black Widow. Click to embiggen to full pain-inducing size, won't you?
That's
Steve Epting and
Tom Palmer, by the way, proving that
no one was immune forn the ravages of the
90s.
And yes, that issue had a
foil-embossed cover. One of
four Avengers issues that year to have one.
Someday you will pay, 1990s. Some day you will pay.
Ugh... That is just atrocious.
ReplyDeleteAnd how the hell do you fire that gun that Black Widow is holding!?! It looks like it has a huge lever (pronounced lee-ver) rather than the traditional, tried and true trigger of every other gun ever.
That's Black Widow? And what is with the headgear?
ReplyDeleteEverything was so...so EXTREEEEME in the '90's.
ReplyDeleteTo this day I still don't know what they kept in all of those little pouches that they loved so much.
90s characters had lots and lotsa teeth, and showed them all the time. Come to think of it, that one's still around.
ReplyDeleteWhat ShadowWing Tronix said. That headgear reminds me of what boxers wear during practice bouts. Did the Avengers raid a gym or something?
ReplyDeleteI cant work out who everyone is...
ReplyDeleteI listed them in order from left to right, Karl.
