Comics - Marvel Female Portraits

[verscont]

Hi all.

I know there's already a Fighting Female Comics thread which I use myself for 'Point of Impact' fight scans from my collection. But that thread is very busy, and what I'm showing here isn't fighting. The inspiration comes from members who seem keenly interested in the female characters themselves and how they're drawn by comic artists.

So here's a first batch of female superheroines and villainesses in full-length portrait form, along with their respective artists' names. I can even supply height and weight stats if required (for the characters that is, not the artists).

I won't throw a tantrum if this post gets merged with the main comics thread; I just don't want to spam that one with dozens (yes, literally) of posts that don't actually show any fighting. And I'm certainly not pleading for 'Thanks', but they would show whether it's worth my time. I don't have much interest in the art myself - and I'd never previously heard of these guys. But I'm happy to continue doing this for members if there's any interest in such a niche subject. Here goes:-

1. MANTIS by Bob McLeod
2. NAMORITA by Alan Weiss
3. NEKRA by Rudy Nebres
4. SIF by Bill Sienkiewicz
5. SNOWBIRD by John Byrne
6. THENA by Brian Bolland
7. THUNDRA by John Romita Sr.
8. TIGRA by Will Meugniot
9. VIPER by Mike Zeck

It's incredible how many female characters populated the Marvel universe in comics. I feel I've only scratched the surface so far - and that's with deliberately omitting those who weren't attractive (to me) or who wore dowdy clothing etc. Here's the next batch.

I'm still going with these, but we're getting to some I wouldn't fancy now - whether in the sack OR wrapping their thighs around my neck.

I started this thread because of interest from those who enjoy original Marvel artwork. But I also hope the outfits and characterisations may give inspiration to some of the original artists and modellers we have here (without breaching copyright, of course).

2. DORMA by John Buscema
3. KALA by Marc Siri
4. MISS AMERICA by Mary Wilshire
