These are terrific (or should I saw marvelous?) -- thanks, Scott! [Smile]
You're welcome Stu! I edited the original post and added a link for each to a 1024x768 resolution image as well. Wasn't sure what screen resolution you used, if you wanted them.

Gotta agree there... though I like Ordway's art generally, I didn't think any of his cover Marys were particularly inspired.

I've often wondered whether Mary's better suited for the red costume or the white one.

One on one hand, the red costume is more traditional. On the other, I do like the idea that, with a white costume, the three Marvels make a pretty patriotic red-white-blue trio.

Plus, the white costume seems to better convey Mary's inherent innocence, as well as set her apart from the Captain.

well, I have never liked her in a red costume...it's hmmmmm starting to make Mary boring and bland. With her in white costume, my eye suddenly raised and wow...that's definitely her we need to see more of her and it has made her more interesting and she made so many appearances after that...popping in Supergirl, FKAJL, etc. So let's have her wear the white costume.

How charming! A pretty Easter frock for only $2.98! (Though I suspect the real Mary would have enough wisdom to not care what the other girls thought about her attire...)
