X-Factor 67 cover

space-pioneer submitted:

I just saw the post with the X-Factor cover. I found another picture of the cover. This is apparently an original art stat from Marvel’s production department which was sold on ebay recently.

This picture was certainly censored. In the black and white pic, you can tell that the black patch was added over what the artist originally drew. The edge of the shadow at the top of the right leg doesn’t even line up with the muscles. The edge on the right side of Cyclops’ abdomen is even worse.

No prizes for guessing why an editor found the pic objectionable, but it’s worth asking why one or two other pictures from Marvel Comics that found their way onto this site weren’t similarly adjusted. Maybe not so off-topic after all.

That makes it even weirder.  So they censored Cyclops? -_o  Was there a bulge or something?  It’s not like nipples poking through heroine outfits seem to be a problem for them.  Now I’m really curious what the non-black-spot picture looks like!  Maybe the artist was quitting and drew like, his boss’ head growing out of Cyclop’s crotch area or something.
