I’ll admit Tony Isabella‘s gag in today’s comic made me laugh out loud. (I might have even giggled.)
Having spent much of my adult life working in the comic book biz, I’m not exactly a stranger to the tendency for comic artists to emphasize the way most super heroines fill out the top half of their costumes.
The most obvious example of this is Power Girl. According to comic book lore, Power Girl’s co-creator Wally Wood bet a studio mate that he could draw Power Girl with a bigger chest each issue and that editors at DC Comics would never notice or object. They didn’t.
Original art featuring Power Girl drawn by Wally Wood in All-Star Comics #65, 1977.
