While Marvel was not the first company to do swimsuit specials featuring their characters (a play on how Sports Illustrated dedicates an issue of its magazine every year to a swimsuit special), its series of Marvel Swimsuit Specials were by far the most famous examples of that approach, especially as the first such special, released in 1991, was released before Image Comics debuted, so it featured art from a number of the superstar Marvel artists who then left to form Image, including pieces by Image founders Jim Lee, Marc Silvestri, and Whilce Portacio.The final Marvel Swimsuit Special was released in 1995, but now, in the wake of DC doing its own Swimsuit Special last year, after 30 years, Marvel is returning to its Swimsuit past with a new one-shot, Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes & Rivals #1, due out in July!The covers for the book include wraparounds by Adam Hughes (featuring the Avengers at the pool) and Mark Brooks (featuring a few famous female Marvel characters in front of surfboards in their bathing suits), and regular variants by Russel Dauterman and Taurin Clake. The issue will also include new costumes that will make their way to Marvel Rivals as new skins.
