Today over at ComicsAlliance, I’ve revived one of my favorite Spooktoberfest features from the ISB with a gallery of your favorite comic book characters decked out for Halloween, or at least in costumes other than their usual ones.
Out of the fifteen I’ve included, there are a couple recycled from the original post–because really, it’d be stupid to not include “Empowered as Sexy Librarian” at every opportunity–but there are also a few that didn’t make the final cut, like Mr. Morris as Captain Marvel above, and Rex Mantooth as a lesbian commando schoolgirl…
…as I figured referring to Rex’s pseudonym, “Becky Labia,” might be pushing it. In any case, enjoy, and hopefully some of you will take it upon yourselves to dress as Spider-Man dressed as a gorilla, for that is the best of all possible costumes.
GOD BLESS YOU, SIR, FOR A FRANK NELSON JOKE.
He’s a National Treasure.
It’s your rule, so you have every right to violate it, but you had said no more Spidey Super Stories.
Yes, but: a) that’s actually taken from a previous SSS Moment of Joy, and b) it’s not here, is it?
Someone remind me, why did Chris stop doing SSS’s?
The internet, nay, the world, could only handle so much concentrated awesome, so Chris discontinued the feature for the greater good. Well, that’s the reason I came up with, at least.
An Electric Company reference? You, sir, have warmed by cold, black heart.
I kinda preferred Thor-as-Hercules to Hercules-as-Thor… even if that leave the Odinson wide open for the dreaded Olympian Titty-Twister.
“Us sure am scaring everybody! Ha Ha!”
Fuck, yes.
Needs more Liefeld pouch jokes.
In what issue of what comics does Franklin Richards dress up as a cowboy?
And is that Katie Power standing behind him?
Tell me someone else thought that was just actually Uncle Marvel up top. Please. Tell me someone else knows he exists.
Peter Singer- that image is from the Dark Reign Fantastic Four series with his sister behind him. I just read the trade for that this past week and it is a lot of fun.
I never really cared for Freddy and Daphne. Now if the Dibnys were alive, you know they’d’ve dressed up as the cool ones – Shaggy and Velma.
Actually, hell, they probably did anyway.
“And is that Katie Power standing behind him?”
Sadly no. That’s Valeria Richards, Franklin’s little sister who showed up as his big little sister from the future, but got retconned into his dead big little sister from the past, becoming both unnecessarily convoluted AND creepy. I would make fun of Jeph Loeb at this point, but if ruining comics stops him making Teen Wolf 3, then so be it.
Speaking of the Power Pack kids, the ‘older’ girl was dressed up as a sexy Black Cat (complete with bisexuality) in a Runaways spin-off.
Wasn’t creepy at all.
I award you ten internets for referencing Jack Benny.
>hopefully some of you will take it upon yourselves to dress as Spider-Man dressed as a gorilla, for that is the best of all possible costumes.
I’m going as Bat-Elvis. How’s that?
