Neal Adams cocreated the character with Roy Thomas in Amazing Adventures 18 and almost certainly designed the original costume. A modified version, which showed as much skin (the top was changed, but he still wore shorts and thigh-high boots), popped up two issues later. That issue was drawn by Herb Trimpe, but I don't know if he was responsible for the changed costume. It was later modified again (in #23, again drawn by Trimpe), this time giving him pants to cover what had been been bare legs.


And we are looking at that costume in retrospective, at the time it wasn't seen as crazy as it is today, Shawn Connery wore one like it in the sci-fi movie, Zardoz.

I remember when ZARDOZ came out in the early '70's - it got the same WTF reaction then as it does today...
