Boobs go big on comic book covers
PriceCharting.com, a price guide for comic books, trading cards and video games, studied how the breast size of females on comic book covers changed from the 1940s to now. Their extensive study concluded that the average female is depicted with twice as much cleavage today and their breasts take up 300% more of the cover. They picked ten random comics from each decade, choosing Wonder Woman, Cat Woman, and Red Sonja.
Their take-aways:
Breasts take up more than triple the cover space today.
The amount of cleavage shown has more than doubled.
Breast to waist ratio has remained the same.
Hips to waist ratio declined 15%, meaning waists are not as slim and hips are not as wide as they were in older comics.
I wonder what famed SCORE artist Otis Sweat thinks of this study if he knows about it.
The Rocket Girls series by Otis Sweat was published in SCORE from the October 2005 issue to July 2007.
