BAW: She Leaves the Masks On

And to wrap up Sally's Beefcake Appreciation Week, here's the opening page of Captain America #391 (by Mark Gruenwald, Rik Levins & Danny Bulanadi), in which Cap and Paladin have been captured by the female-supremacist Superia and prepared for a sex-change operation (done through comic-book SCIENCE!, rather than conventional surgery and hormone therapy).

I assume that Superia left their masks on so they wouldn't get any hair into the chemical vats and clog up the drain. After all, running a super-SCIENCE! laboratory on a secret island is expensive...why spring for extra hairnets when your subjects are already wearing head-covering?

BAW: The Jameson Genes

Today's installment, from What If? vol. 1, #7 (by Don Glut, Rick Hoberg, and Sam Grainger): An alternate-reality John Jameson gets bitten by the radioactive spider...and unlike Peter Parker, he makes no secret of his abilities.

"A chip off the old block"? Well, let's just be glad we're not seeing shirtless JJJ...

BAW: Tor = Ripped

Continuing Sally's "Beefcake Appreciation Week," here's the great Joe Kubert's prehistoric hero Tor, from Sojourn #1:

BAW: Kurtzman and Superman

Continuing my contributions to Sally's Beefcake Appreciation Week, the opening pages of Harvey Kurtzman's "Man and Superman" from EC's Weird Science #6.

BAW: They've Just Been Ruffled!

Over at Green Lantern Butts Forever, Sally has declared it to be Beefcake Appreciation Week once again! Well, since I just got back from a couple of days at Dragon*Con, where I had the pleasure of meeting Neal Adams, I thought I'd start out the week with one of those famous Neal Adams shirtless heroes! No, it's not Shirtless Batman (sorry, Sims)...

...it's Shirtless Warren Worthington III, from X-Men #60 (complete with Roy Thomas dialogue)!

Make This Into a Statue

Okay, I'm sure most of you have read about The Big MJ Statue Controversy already...I just wanted to share this image of Peter Parker, the Spectacular Naked Maitre D' as an antidote.
