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.

I mean, for God's sake, what the heck is up with that ridiculous outfit? Is Killraven supposed to be a cage dancer? A gimp? A sadist? A masochist? A pimp? Is he the new addition to the Village People? It's just so terrible.

Whether is was for rights issues or low pre-orders, I don't know.

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.
