I love these costumes! Ceasar has a great design, but I think the Calpurnia costume at the bottom is my favorite. Kirby isn't really well known for diversity in designs for his females (hence why I think that his nickname "The Michaelangelo of Comics" is appropriate) So seeing something this stylish is a rare privilege.

I like the design on the abs, it looks like a scorpion trying to swallow a star. While we have this photo of the suit being assembled, but I'd have loved to see the entire thing put together.

It would be fun to see today but there in nothing left on film.

If The Fantastic Four and Thor made an appearance on stage I would so go and see that production!

I would actually love to see the designers from the "Thor" movie put these costumes together.
