Marvel's 1991 answer to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue arrives in style with this premier magazine-format parody, its cover featuring a self-assured She-Hulk in a pink swimsuit posing confidently in the foreground while a group of reddish, statuesque male figures loom in the background — a playful visual that sets the tongue-in-cheek tone perfectly. Brian Stelfreeze's cover art is lush and painted in feel, rendering She-Hulk's green complexion and voluminous auburn hair with real glamour against that moody crimson backdrop. Inside, the promise of "The Boys (and Girls) of Summer" alongside "The Super Olympics Down Under" suggests a full roster of Marvel heroes trading their capes for beachwear, making this a genuinely fun celebration of the Marvel universe's lighter side.
