The Marvel Swimsuit Special (formerly Marvel Illustrated: The Swimsuit Issue) is an annual magazine-styled comic book originally published by Marvel Comics from 1991 to 1995. A parody of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, the series features pin-ups of Marvel Comics characters in swimwear, alongside sarcastic and satirical commentary. A one-off revival of the series, titled Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes & Rivals, was published in 2025… well, not so much one-off now, I guess.
