Burlesque

I get far, far too many hits on this blog from people searching for infinite variations of "naked X" or "Y kissing Z" or "gay pornstar Solomon Grundy jacking off" (no, I'm not making that up, sadly).

But I give up. I surrender. You want to see super-heroes taking their clothes off? I'm going to give you super-heroes stripping.

Here's the Fantastic Four in civvies, investigating the mysterious town of New Salem:

And cue up the bawdy music, because here's the Fantastic Four stripping:

Oh, baby, take it off!!

Well, that should be good for a few more hits...

No one draws super-heroes stripping like George Perez, no one inks super-heroes stripping like Joe Sinnott, and no one writes (or edits) superheroes stripping like Len Wein, in the classical all-adult revue of Fantastic Four #185 (1977).

This was one of the first Marvel stories I remember reading. Salem's Seven. Ah, fond memories. Thanks for that.

Yeah, there are some SERIOUSLY sick puppies out there on the internets. I have a search function/topic cloud in my blog's sidebar that I finally had to apply a filter to since the first thing people saw in the topic cloud was "Wonder Woman bound and gagged", followed by several more sordid phrases. Not the impression I want to new visitors with, you know?

Wow...that Solomon Grundy search term you mentioned probably takes the cake, though. That is some serious mental illness on display there.

By the way, your blog is kicking all kinds of ass.

Slay, you're forgetting 1987's _Fantastic Four versus the X-Men_ when in Issue #2, page 8, Sue literally bursts out of her clothes because she is "seized suddenly by a fury too great to be contained . . . " (on page 7 that keeps going to page eight's . . .) "Susan Richards lashes out with her invsisible force field." As she screams, "Reed Richards -- how I hate you!," her clothes literally rip to shreds from the power of her invisible force field blast; most of her body is inked in black, but the fleshy pink that's there suggests a heck of a lot to a young mind, and, well, even a thirty-sevenish or so mind; and she's definitely nude and definitely in a half-squat position, and, well, she's naked Susan Richards. I'm going to have to stop there . . . someone gimme a Xanex and a drink and a cold shower . . . whew . . .

Snell, if you want to see another great pic of ol' Sue (the one I referred to in my comment above), I've posted it here:

Damn. You use 'super-heroes stripping' to set up the pic, then you use 'super-heroes stripping' to refer to the pencil artist and you use 'super-heroes stripping' to refer to the inker and you use 'super-heroes stripping' to refer to the writer.
You know, either you really like the phrase 'super-heroes stripping', or maybe got 'super-heroes stripping' stuck in your head like an old tune you can't shake.
Or, y'know, maybe... just maybe... you wanted to push the blog up higher on the search results for 'super-heroes stripping'?
Well, not sure who searches for 'super-heroes stripping' (or super-hero sex or even man-on-beast action, for that matter). But if you really wanted to get 'super-heroes stripping' to be a search term that brings folks in, well i guess 'super-heroes stripping' isn't the worst phrase out there. But not sure what we fans could do to help 'super-heroes stripping' show up more often. I suppose we could go out and talk about 'super-heroes stripping' with our friends and neighbors, but...

But, nothing. See you later - it's off to talk about 'super-heroes stripping' with everyone who'll listen to 'super-heroes stripping' because you never know what 'super-heroes stripping' might lead to. Y'know?
