Hell yes, I want to, any red-blooded boy (of whatever age) would! But even with the current "Legion" series not being put through the wringer of the Comics Censor-- er, Code Authority, we're not going to.
I've long thought that the strongest substance in the universe was not inertron, but the obscenity statutes in the U.S. Code {g}

I thought the CCA fell by the wayside. Or was that just with Marvel?
Posted by Greybird on :
DC still submits some of its Supes and Bats titles to the CCA, mostly those that appear on the few spinner racks that still exist, such as in Borders bookstores.
"LSH" isn't on spinner racks. Kids and teenagers have to trek to a comics store to get it. Which, as ever, doesn't bode well for the longer-term prospects.

Nothing wrong with that. You see more flesh on regular TV shows and especially in commercials these days. Giffen and company were always pretty careful with their use of shadows and camera angles so there was never anything for the censors to get hyped about anyway.
Barry ought to bring in a few Mike Grell type super-hero outfits too. I still miss Projectra's thigh high boots and Imra's pink bikini.

It was years before I realized Grell's costume for Cosmic Boy wasn't black and pink... just black. It just never even occurred to me as a kid that Cos was walking around in a halter top.

Someone needs to do a more detailed analysis of the nudity on Winath... Wasn't it basically just Ayla and her girlfriend(s) and Mekt and Holt? In fact, Mekt and Holt wore those odd diaper looking thong things, didn't they? Who else actually got naked on the plantation? Did other farms on the planet condone such activity? I tell ya, Winath's nudism is a rumor, not a fact!

Maybe Winathians only get naked when they go out on romantic dates!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
I think it was stated that nudity and scantily-cladness were common place on Winath, although Ayla was often seen in the buff moreso than most other high profile Winathians.
It wasn't actually until TMK/Winath nudity fest that I really started to think Ayla was a cutie.
Interesting enough, Garth and Imra never ventured out that way!

Do you remember those TMK 5-year gap era omni-com entry pages? Well, Irma made some off-hand comment in one of them that "no daughter of Titan" would ever dare to be so immodest.
And as for Garth, his body was covered in discloured blotches as a result of his having had the Validus Plague, if memory serves me correctly, so I suppose that this accounts for his atypical (for a Winathian, anyway) reluctance to bare it all under the sun.

But wasn't it revealed that Garth was not Garth, but Proty "frozen" in his form? Those splotches could have been camoflague
