Darkchylde Swimsuit Illustrated

    (Image, 1998)
™ and ©1998 Randy Queen and Majesty Graphics

Seemingly inspired by the Marvel Swimsuit Special and Lady Death in Lingerie pinup-style books that preceded it, this one-shot features Randy Queen’s mysterious heroine, Ariel Chylde, in a potpourri of provocative poses, wearing a variety of thongs and nominal tops. This special fills the gap between the end of the Darkchylde limited series and the beginning of the ongoing series. Several noteworthy artists are represented in this collection, including Jim Lee (X-Men, WildC.A.T.s, Divine Right), Mike Wieringo (Flash, Sensational Spider-Man), Brandon Peterson (Ripclaw, Medieval Spawn/Witchblade), Ethan Van Sciver (Impulse), and Joe Chiodo (The Art of Homage Studios, Daredevil/Black Widow: Abattoir). Certainly the perfect package for fans of the modern spin on “Good Girl Art.”
