Monday MARVEL Madness BARBIE FASHION "Bye, Bye, Barbie!"

When is a Barbie story not a Barbie story?

When it has no Barbie (or her supporting cast) in it...until the very last page!

Perhaps that's why this never-reprinted tale from Marvel's Barbie Fashion #41 (1994) was in their April Fool issue!

But as for who is in this story, well...

Either in-universe Marvel's Editor-in-Chief Tom DeFalco (not the real guy, of course) was an easily-manipulated fool...or he was a sadist!

Note: Barbie Fashion ran for another year, until it was really cancelled with #53 in 1995.
Written by Barbara Slate, penciled by Mary Wilshire, and inked by Trina Robbins, this story from three decades ago featured the entire creative and editorial crew from the two Barbie titles as well as various other Marvel personnel.

Can you name them all?

Marvel Characters Inspire Clothing Designers...

Ever wondered if a cape and tights could pass for haute couture?

On Thursday, Project Runway: Under the Gunn viewers will find out.
The four remaining competitors on the reality show will use Marvel characters such as Black Widow, Captain Marvel (shown above), Falcon, Hawkeye and the Guardians of the Galaxy as inspiration for a ready-to-wear challenge.

Jaimie Alexander (Lady Sif on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Thor films) will serve as a guest judge ready to school the hopefuls on all things fierce.

Cort Lane (that name just sounds like a superhero), Marvel’s vice president in charge of animation development and production, will also be on hand as a guest mentor.

Catch it Thursday evening on Lifetime, 9 p.m. ET/PT.
