Thinking about what I bought back in the day, I bought more non-super hero comics from DC: Warlord, Unknown Soldier, Kamandi and the ERB characters DC had the rights to in the 70s. At Marvel it was pretty much only Super heroes til they got the rights to Star Wars.

"Ellipsoid..." Yes, that is exactly the word I was going to use to describe that shape that is calling to Betty... I don't know, Michael. I'm too tired to go image-searching just now, but I can recall a number of cheesecake moments from Bronze-Age DC, if not full-on nudity. A Joe Staton Shadow Lass answering the door in an open nightgown... A Joe Staton Huntress showering and undressing on multiple occasions... (Hm... Pattern forming here) Mike Nasser's "Tales of the Amazons" series... Starfire going starkers a couple of times... It's emblemic, I think, of the era of Charlie's Angels, bikini posters, wet t-shirt contests, and (as SNL called them) the Network Battles of the T's and A's... Jiggle TV was everywhere you looked, Farrah was on everyone's wall, alongside various Heathers and Cheryls... Short-shorts, Daisy Dukes, and halter tops were all the rage. The Seventies/ Early Eighties were a sort of Golden Age for girl watching. I don't know that either company had a lock on that trend.

Boy I am getting old! I didn't even notice the undertone between the naked Betty Ross and the shape of M.O.D.O.K's ship until your comment Brian.

The scene below, from UNCANNY X-MEN 137, was my "response" to all the naked ladies that had been showing up in Marvel comics around that time. . .

I seem to a recall a shower scene with a rather buff looking Peter Parker in the Stern/Romita Jr issues.

Those three sequences, Logan, Peter, Ororo, demonstrate how, once we went inside their heads, the different characters seemed to develop one voice -- Chris'. A few "ain'ts" tossed in, for Logan, but otherwise a level of philosophizing we might not have expected from him!(Interesting -- something that slipped past me all these years. Peter comments on it being "dawn", so he must have slept thru the whole night. Yet he's on a space ship orbiting the Moon, so "dawn" would have nothing at all to do with elapsed time!) Note the heavy rewrites on the page Bill posted.

As I noted a while back, it was really interesting to check out PHOENIX: THE UNTOLD STORY, and read the original dialogue for these pages. In the original version of the story, these introspective scenes feature each of the X-Men wondering if they'll survive the upcoming battle on the Moon, and thinking about loose ends back home. In the published version, this was all changed so that the we see each X-Man deciding whether or not they should fight for Jean's life, considering that she committed genocide. A very important change, there, and one that makes the story that much better.

Thing thing I remember about the first panel is being fascinated with the drawing of Wolverine's mask on the mask-holding prop. It made me realize that the mask was more of a rigid material, like a helmet more than a mask.
