Arrant, Chris (9 May 2019). "Marvel Summer Special #1 Canceled". Newsarama . Retrieved 15 May 2019. Tom DeFalco, the editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics during the majority of the Marvel Swimsuit Special's publication run, has characterized the decision to produce the series as being largely financially motivated. [4] As Marvel's licensing, animation, and film divisions struggled in the 1990s (culminating in the company filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1996 [5]), the company became increasingly sales-focused in its comic division. The concept of a comic series that imitated the successful Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue was proposed multiple times, and was ultimately published in 1991. [4] Similarly to many comics released in the era of comics speculation, the Marvel Swimsuit Special was marketed as a collector's item that would appreciate in value over time.

Retrieved 15 May 2019.Each one of the swimsuit specials also had a unique premise that explained why these Marvel heroes were lounging around in swimwear. In 1991, the MARVEL ILLUSTRATED SWIMSUIT ISSUE brought the heroes together in the Savage Land for an athletic competition hosted by Stark Enterprises. This issue also featured swimsuits designed by Janet Van Dyne, who occasionally works as a fashion designer when she’s not saving the world as the Wasp. While later swimsuit specials focused almost exclusively on art, this inaugural special parodied the popular publications of the era, with magazine-style articles and interviews spotlighting the heroes between the pictorial spreads. a b Wheeler, Andrew (14 January 2015).

Conversely, critic Megan Byrd has praised the Marvel Swimsuit Special in Women Write About Comics, arguing that the series "fulfill[s] fans' desires to see the characters sexualized, without that goal distracting or minimizing the content of in-continuity stories." [19] Byrd praised the series for its unadorned fan service, particularly its sexualization of both male and female characters. [19] In a separate review for Women Write About Comics, critic Wendy Browne argued that the sexualized artwork of the Swimsuit Special compares favorably to sexualized artwork in narrative-focused comic books, specifically citing Milo Manara's criticized variant cover for Spider-Woman #1, arguing that sexualization in the Marvel Swimsuit Special is "contextual rather than gratuitous."

These images and pictures of She-Hulk have been ranked by dedicated comic book fans. Drawing She-Hulk has always brought out the best in comic book artists, with her revealing, skin-tight costumes perfectly showing off her outrageous curves and beautiful shape. Though She-Hulk has always been tough, but not nearly as hot-headed as her cousin depending on the era and specific author, she balances her raw strength and superpowers with femininity and style.
