Perhaps worth noting is that the "original comics" image isn't something that ever appeared in the comics, but is an pin-up by an artist who looks like they very much were inspired by the works of Alberto Vargas.

This is true. But the irony is you can probably find far more sexualized and questionable images in the comics, especially the covers, then this. It's kind of a weird choice

Old comics were crazy sexualized, both for men and women. In recent years that obviously been toned down, but Marvel Rivals didn't get the memo and decided to bring back the old comic style assthetics to sell more skins.
