By popular request, Black Widow as drawn by George Perez.

As you might expect, the plot kicks in. But first, one last look at that costume?

GODDAMN.

So Natasha's handler/father figure, Ivan, has been kidnapped and Natasha goes undercover, working with a treasonous American scientist.

Really, what did you expect to happen if you slept with Terry Long? Who is literally a dirty Commie?

Uh, Madame Natasha, they kinda did you a favor? Remember the part where he betrayed you in favor of SCIENCE? Not a good long-term prospect, anyone who does that. Just ask Sue Storm. But back to the fanservice.

But wouldn't you know it, Tasha runs afoul of ~~the League of Ethnic Stereotypes~~ some hired mercenaries, who eventually capture her. I pondered whether to post this and appeal to all the bondage fans, but hell, it's BLACK WIDOW HOG-TIED by a COWGIRL (hi Google!). Besides, no one sane could post this next picture and not BONDAGE of a character played by SCARLETT JOHANNSON.

Uh... yeah. Anyone remember that bit in Astonishing X-Men where Scott hallucinates a 'new costume' with a tutu and such? Apparently, he wasn't whacked out, just nostalgic.

Neither are we, Natasha. Neither are we. ~~Couldn't she just take her catsuit off and put it back on?~~ ~~Quiet, you!~~

Then of course, there is the HOT SEMI-NAKED CATFIGHT.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

	Better than all right, though by later standards, you don't see much there. Just a bare arm and a bit of back. Where's that scan from? The inking doesn't look right for some reason. Maybe I'm just misremembering. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I thought it might be a reprinted version where the colors were touched up. The hair seems off, too dark, closer to brown than red. Maybe I ever have it in a reprint. I know I've got it, but I have no idea where. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The story was originally from Amazing Adventures #5. I scanned it out of one of those old tabloid-sized reprint books...Giant Superhero Holiday Grab-Bag. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Interesting. I'm not sure if I have Amazing Adventures #5, but I do have the reprint and there's no red at all in her hair in the copy I have. The next panel, where she's zipping up her jumpsuit, would also have proven your point nicely. Her hair is red in that one, so I guess part of her superhero costume involved hair dye. Clever, but maybe too time consuming to be practical.
