If it's a real outrage by the estate-holders, it's silly. The character (Dejah Thoris) has been drawn exactly the same way since I first saw her in TARZAN and WEIRD WORLDS for DC (1972), and JOHN CARTER WARLORD OF MARS for Marvel (1975-1977). She was thong-bikini-clad then, she's thong-bikini-clad now. I loved it then, I love it now! I suspect it's all just a stunt to draw attention. Whether that is the intention or not, I'm sure Dynamite will sell a lot more copies as a result.
