Cover Contest 10/11- 10/17: This Aged Well ( sarcasm)

[ed2962]

Post a cover that depicts either some pop culture trend, social/political movement that seems really dated or scene that seems now ironic by the passage of time.

For instance I'm not sure people under 40 would get the pun on this X-Men cover.


The bad guys here are an alien race called the Badoon. Around the time this comic came out ( 1981 ), there was a designer jeans company that had a massive TV campaign and their tag line was "Oh La La Sasson". These commercials were everywhere back then.



Just so we're clear, the cover has to be from the time when the trend or whatever was actually happening, so deliberately retro-covers or period pieces don't count. So a 2000's Deadpool cover with Wade in disco clothes doesn't count, but a 1978 cover with Clark Kent in the John Travolta suit could. A Watchmen sequel with Dr Manhattan shaking hands with Richard Nixon doesn't count, but a 1971 cover with Iron Man doing the same does. The Animaniacs from the 90's saying "23 skiddo!" is no good but a 1938 Mickey Mouse cover works.

When Dazzler was created in the disco era, Marvel was going to have a movie and records tie-ins. Bo Derek was going to play her in a movie but the deal fell though.

Back in the 1970's platform shoes were all the rage---for both genders! Today? Not so much!

Remember when this guy was thought of as classy and cool?

And now its Deathlok, coming to you from the far-flung, post-apocalyptic future of ... 1990!

Was that the typical style of dress / protest in 1990?

[CaptainEurope]

Considered the worst new character from the Bloodlines crossover, I give you:



JAMM!

Jamm is a Wayne's World inspired skater dude. His power is a rapey kind of mind control that makes Starfox look like a harmless character. Jamm has not been used much.

He did have a rad trading card though, dudes. It was epic.

Remember flip phones and ring tones you could download?
