Although, to be fair, they'll do the same thing to some images of lady heroes, too. Case in point: Last month's Justice League of America 10. Michael Turner apparently went a little overboard with Power Girl's bra size, so DC whacked off a couple cups before publication.
Anyway, judge for yourself. Here are the solicited covers, the printed covers and a couple of Flash animations that emphasize the de-emphasis. Enjoy.

Love the throbbing effect. Did you make those?
ReplyDeleteYep. I Photoshopped 'em to get everything lined up, then got a program off download.com called Sqirlz Morph to mesh 'em together and turn 'em into Flash. They turned out better than I was expecting, so I'm kinda happy with 'em!!! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat's interesting about the Powergirl image is that while the overall size might be smaller, thew shadeing has been increased, so the overall effect is still a massive chest.
ReplyDeleteI'm really happy with the way they turned out, too.
ReplyDeleteOh my, those animations are hypnotic. The PG one would make an awesome icon if it were 100x100. The Citizen Steel one too, but I don't know if you'd be able to see it well enough at reduced size...
ReplyDeleteThose are GREAT!
ReplyDeleteWhat's irritating about the PG adjustment is that her breasts are still anatomically atrocious. Breasts do not jut out horizontally without starting somewhere in the vicinity of one's neck. *mutter*
ReplyDeletethe pulsing! the throbbing!
ReplyDeletei love it!
Those are awesome. And brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThey're brawlsome.
