The Return of the "Swimsuit Special" Legacy

  • The Marvel Swimsuit Special has a rich, if sometimes controversial, history in comics.
  • Originally a series of annual publications from 1991 to 1995, these one-shots offered a playful and often humorous look at Marvel's heroes and villains in a non-canonical setting.
  • They were a departure from the typical superhero narrative, focusing on fun, lighthearted pinups and gag stories, often poking fun at the characters themselves and the state of comics at the time.
  • The original specials were a huge hit, becoming a beloved part of 90s comic book culture and a sought-after collectible for fans.
  • They were known for their tongue-in-cheek nature and for featuring art from some of the biggest names in the industry.
