Superhero swimsuit issues are a somewhat silly artifact of the '90s comics boom, a throwback to a time when some nonsensical sexiness was a common aspect of superhero stories and art. But now, DC is bringing the tradition back with a totally different take on the old trope that adds a heaping helping of silliness to the concept of a swimsuit special - by putting the focus on G'nort, the hapless, doglike Green Lantern.
Yes, that's right, it's the G'nort's Illustrated Swimsuit Issue (and you are indeed detecting a pun on the ubiquitous Sport's Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in that title). In the pin-up book art one-shot, G'nort and his pals in the Justice League splish and splash it up in their hot summer swimwear, all for the enjoyment of the reader.
