DESPOP TUESDAYS!
The latest Marvel Swimsuit Special is out this week — but what if the ish came out during the 1960s?
It might look something like this:
The ads for “Van Dyne Swimwear” will appear in Des Taylor’s faux superhero glamor mag Savoir, which is part of his latest, successfully funded Kickstarter campaign — for The Blue Lotus Strikes.
Here’s a spread of Alice Gilmore, aka the Blue Lotus, herself:
Other heroes featured in the issue will include Marvel Girl, Sharon Carter, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, Matt Murdock and Karen Page.
The Blue Lotus campaign may have ended, but, sez Des, you can still grab a late pledge copy to download Savoir for free!

Sadly all women, which I guess is in line with the timeframe.
