You could get away with it with Red Sonja to go comic book but someone like Vampirella just looks stupid. She would need the pants and coat and not the one strip of fabric and boots. Remember the Vampirella movie from the 80s. Now that was an abomination.<br /><br />Oh and Erik. You taught me nothing or I learned nothing. I only give credit on those collections when it is at the source. Otherwise I wish artists would just sign their work so it's easier for others to find their other work online.<br />Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-91669990138470345322014-06-28T12:19:53.278-07:002014-06-28T12:19:53.278-07:00You've noticed that they're getting rid of...You've noticed that they're getting rid of all the "inappropriate" costumes when they put the female superheroes into movies (they've changed Scarlet Witch's costume, and they're about to change Wonder Woman's). <br /><br />Which makes sense and is the right move, but there's something to be said for fidelity to the originals even if it's ridiculous, right?<br /><br />The only counterexample I can think of is <i>Watchmen</i> -- they pretty much had Silk Spectre dressed in her comic book costume (which is ironic in that there's discussion throughout the story of that costume and how much she dislikes it).<br /> <br />Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04915554155202804189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-90167503582141518412014-06-28T11:10:08.624-07:002014-06-28T11:10:08.624-07:00Credits for all of them.
