Hubba hubba! Hold on to your hats fellow S_D-er's
For lo I bring you mass nudity of major DC heroes, but yet... it IS safe for work...
See the Teen Wonder without his wardrobe, see Wonder Woman without a stitch on her, see Superman and Aquaman disrobed as you've never seen them disrobed before... And none of them have anything on under their costumes
And believe it or not, it's not in the likes of Vertigo that this happened, but
The kiddie-oriented Super Friends series!!! The Super Friends #29 to be precise (in 1980). It's a nine page story, so I've tried to trim it down to around three pages.
Wonder Woman and the Wonder Twins are on monitor duty, when a strange alien spaceship arrives in Earth orbit and issues a radio message for Earth to surrender. Diana, ambassador to the core, replies...
I like the casually arrogant alien. No bluster, no threats, just an inherent assumption of superiority and goodbye humanity.
However, Wonder Woman has a rather weird idea, as the exterminator device lands on Earth...
Okay, that's just... strange. But wait, there's more, because she's summoned the other Superfriends. Superman arrives first, while Batman and Robin are parking the Batplane.
Love the psychadelic backgrounds in the other dimension...
Well, I DID promise you the Superfriends without their clothes on didn't I? I even pointed out that they weren't wearing ANYTHING underneath their costumes. Semantics is a WONDERFUL science isn't it? :)
I can't read the next page without thinking of the finale of "Bedknobs and Broomsticks"
There's actually some pretty clever art in this, as well as some rather interesting notions underlying it.
Yeah, yeah, Superman we get it, you have powers... you weren't bright enough to realise that you could punch things even though you'd seen the invisible Wonder Woman use her lasso were you though?
The heroes make it through the barrier (Kryptonite apparently having to hit VISIBLE flesh, rather than get through that pesky costume) and Wonder Woman reverses the invisibility process and shreds the machinery causing the damage, Superman then returns the unit to the spaceship and suggests that they get the <s>hell</s> heck out of Earth's solar system. The aliens decide that they'll seek another colony world, preferably one without existing life.
And so it's time for the "group laugh and a freeze frame" moment so beloved of sitcoms... or something similar.
Something tells me that the senior Superfriends have had to come up with explanations like that to make Aquaman and Robin feel good about themselves a time or two, so they're REALLY good at it.
The other story in this issue features some truly awesome levels of Wonder Twin-dickery as they acclimatise to humans, and going to an Earth high school.
First of all, they decide on human disguises, with the assistance of Professor Nichols, their legal guardian (as much as legal guardians are required for non-humans)
I hardly need add that the word "blond" is masculine (a female is a blonde), so I assume that Jayna now has some... new biological anomolies in her physique, but that's her business not ours...
And the next day, the Aryan twins show up at school...
I like the fact they have an unusual accent, since English is far from their first language.
Mystery Incorporated... I mean, the random students want to find out more about these new arrivals, but since they are apparently very evasive when asked directly, they take it in turns to shadow them home, and try and find out more.. The Twins are on to this though, so decide to give the snooping students something to REALLY make them think. So when they take a turn down an alleyway, by the time their tail catches up with them they've assumed new forms.
The first guy sees a penguin on an ice flow.
The second sees nothing, as they've taken the form of an ant and a dewdrop
I confess I was curious as to what sort of "alley trick" Batman might have taught them (oh the possibilities inherent in THAT little phrase), before I realised they'd given a name to their own dickishness.
Two things about that last image 1) Jayna is splashing around in her own brother, that's just... disturbing. 2) Marylou has fantasies involving naked mermaids flashing their boobs at her. Nuff said.
After the last poor sod sees this...
The next day, these fine future potential patients at Arkham finally confront the twins about their experiences. They explain that their guardian has developed a holographic projector and they were just joshing with them...
Whew, well done Zan and Jayna... they'll never be suspicious of you now, will they! :)
