What about Grell's Tyroc design for the LOSH? Pure 70's madness. White open chest tunic with gold chains, sporting an Afro, Elvis collar, bare arms and legs with white short shorts and pyxie boots. I can just imagine Freddy Mercury strutting around the stage dressed in just such an outfit during a Queen concert!

Every time I see this thread, I think of the 70s Fashion Mockery posts that the Mego Museum does. Is it any wonder costumes looked like this in the 70s when people were actually wearing stuff like this...       I mean any of these folks would not have looked out of place alongside the Legion in those costumes or hanging out with Luke and Danny in NYC... -M |

If you want funky 70s fashion, look to the romance genre:  I wonder which of the smooching couple the guy in black is waiting for. |

Paty and Dave Cockrum for the win on '70s costumes, and John Byrne for people having real seeming and interesting civilian clothes! I know there were some ridiculous examples in comics and reality in the '70s but there were things I liked too (plastic belts and bags, turtle necks, zippers with big ring pulls, thigh-high boots, some gone before I was old enough for them). Somehow in the '80s color was considered bad in clothing, furniture and cars. Right at the start of the '80s what became known as the grunge uniform began appearing at junior high school along with the tracksuit jock gear. The few brave attempts at punk was barely a blip in my real world in the late '70s compared to polyester and disco stuff. I remember having some purple suede platform shoes at about ten years of age that would definitely get laughed at now but I loved them and wore them every chance I had and don't recall any negative comments. I also had a bright yellow top and more than one pair of plaid pants. Pretty sure it was just whatever Brady Bunch type merchandise was available at Sears and K-Mart, it was only later in junior high you were made to feel certain brands or any bright/loud color at all was uncool. I still miss seeing purple and green cars and have no interest when people show off their high-end stainless steel appliances then tell you not to touch them directly or you will leave fingerprints.

Starlin doing Warlock, Magus, Universal Church always had a real 70's vibe to me as far as fashion and costumes. Complete with your future nemesis self having a purple 'fro.
While the costume didn't change much from Thomas/Kane (but adding a cape) for some reason Starlin's art came off more psychedelic. Maybe it's just his style of drawing. I'm always drawn to his issues of Dr Strange too. He added that feel to his costume as well.
Pre-Starlin Warlock did have a lot of 70's fashion in it with the friend's Warlock made on Counter Earth.

Hunh? In my high school, in the early 80s, it was not torn jeans and flannel shirts (although being the Midwest and a farm town, we did have jeans and flannel shirts); it was the whole preppie khaki and Izod look, plus the Flashdance cut-off sweatshirts (for the girls) and there was plenty of color; mostly neon. We were too far out for the whole New Wave checkerboard tennis shoes and skinny ties (well, we got a bit of that); but, we had the denim skirts, the camo pants, and a bit of the shoulder pads. I, for one, was happy to see the return of the mini-skirt. I wouldn't be caught dead in most of the stuff my mother bought me, in the 70s and I wasn't happy about it then. By high school, I was earning my own money and could wear blue jeans and t-shirts, like I wanted (and the odd oxford shirt) I was never allowed to be fashionable, in any decade; I'm 5'6" and they don't make fashionable for shorter people. In my Navy days, when I was in shape, I bought stuff at Merry Go Round; but, never pants or jackets. They didn't have pants with inseams less than 34 and the short- waisted jackets didn't work, on my frame. I did like their shirts, especially when going on liberty. I do miss being able to buy boots other than cowboy boots., in the 80s/early 90s. I always preferred 60s clothes; I think it was from watching so many 60s tv shows and movies, in syndication, in the 70s. I always liked Dick Van Dyke's wardrobe, on his show, thow it always looked like Buddy, on me. |

I didn't get to high school, so I was relating 1980-82 junior high fashion in the PNW. Plain blue jeans and t-shirts and flannel shirts over the t-shirts on everyone, even some teachers, exceptions being jocks (and jock teachers) wearing sports stuff which could have some color like blue and yellow Adidas or white and red whatever that was (Nike? not a jock) and a very small number of weirdos of which I was at least a bit of one. Actually I carried an Adidas bag but wore it like a knapsack sometimes, I had two, one for martial arts school and one for regular school/newspapers when I delivered those near the end. Too bright a t-shirt would get comments, but as I alluded to, so would the wrong brand of jeans or running shoes. I ended up the go-to person for various substances at a couple of schools, so even after I had dropped out I would visit a couple of schools most days. So after being a pre-teen and teen-age drug mule for awhile, and going to a drop-in place for truant kids (me), kids with substance issues (I didn't use, I just held or delivered), and kids in trouble with the law (should've been me, but they didn't know it), when I went back, to the tough junior high with the large number of native kids, a housing project on two of our sides and a nursery in the basement (the called us pregnant hill) then I did see some super large colorful sweaters and leg warmers... that would be 1983-84, but I fell off into old ways and means again and then it was two years in a Christian school to finish Grade 9 and 10 and there was no fashion or anything reflective of anything except maybe the 700 Club and whatever was sold in Christian type ghetto shops. A girl with an Epic Illustrated collection was possessed, a gay kid into Boy George who showed up in a garbage bag dress, he was tolerated though amazingly so I can say something nice about them. I was possessed too, but for liking rock music, which was even worse than comic books. I remember vests being pushed as a sort of school uniform though there wasn't anything official. They eventually gave me a couple when all hints were not picked up by myself or my Mother, and just to not have emotional teachers in my face I would put one on sometimes a block from the school. TMI?  We had a good do-it-yourself punk scene in the very late '70s to early '80s and there were a couple Darby Crash or Sid Vicious wannabes, but just not for long, and never really turned into New Wave. There was a ska thing briefly. too, but it was like we were at the very tail end of things and they were over almost before we got the word in the first place. I really identified with the English 2-tone ska, even wore some black & white checked stuff, but it was a very small crowd in Vancouver, the big city, even at it's height, and never made it to Seattle that I know of. Dance Craze (the 2-tone concerts movie) was a thing here, not Flashdance or Michael Jackson, Madonna was a girl thing three or more years younger than me, I guess we had Pat Benatar but I can't remember anyone dressing like her. |

Mister Spaceman ... these jeans were very popular back in the 70s.  Back in my High School Days ... I seen these kind of Jeans worn about 15 percent of girls in High School and they still do after I left when I graduated in 1978.

Not much to add other than this is a great topic OP! (Like many, I immediately thought of Cockrum's Legion, my personal favorite)
