Wow, I don’t know what to say about this spread, except to guess that it was intended as eye candy for female fans. We’ve discussed wardrobe-related concerns on this blog in the past; everything from Matt carrying his civvies in a bag to bouncing them around rolled up in a ball to getting rid of them by pouring acid on them. This page doesn’t actually explain where he keeps his civilian clothes, though he’s presumably on his way home, but we get to see him disrobe in sensational style. He probably did have the minute to spare to do it properly in his bedroom, but the man does like to show off…
By the way, the page in question is from issue #130, by Marv Wolfman and with art by Bob Brown and Klaus Janson.
*Bleeeaaahhh!*
A-hem. Sorry.
Not just female fans! Matty is like the hottest super hero in New York. Thanks for the candy 😀
You’re right scottyquick (and I actually thought about that when I wrote it), this is an equal opportunity gawk fest. Although I find Matt in #111 a little more drool-worthy personally. In response to your comment about #111, I don’t know when (or even if) it hits the newsstands, especially since I live in Sweden… Thanks for stopping by though! 🙂
