The Sensational She-Hulk # 25, published by Marvel Comics in March 1991, is a significant, double-sized issue known for its meta-fictional humor and a controversial cover that drew attention for its partial nudity.
"Forever Amber"
The story is written and drawn by John Byrne and focuses on She-Hulk tackling corporate espionage and murder while battling a new, seductive adversary.
- The Case: Jennifer Walters, as the She-Hulk, investigates a series of bizarre corporate murders linked to the powerful and wealthy industrialist Amber.
- The Villain: Amber is a mysterious, alluring woman who uses a powerful "touch" to kill her victims instantly. She attempts to seduce She-Hulk into joining her company.
- Fourth Wall Fun: In a classic Byrne touch, She-Hulk is fully aware she is in a comic book. At one point, she uses a full-page ad for another Marvel comic (Captain America) to cover her body when she is accidentally left naked after a fight with the Living Eraser in a previous issue.
- The Conflict: She-Hulk refuses Amber's offer and a battle ensues, leading to a showdown where Amber's lethal abilities are put to the test against the Jade Giantess's durability.
- Writer: John Byrne
- Artist: John Byrne
- Inker: Keith Williams
- Publisher: Marvel Comics
- The Cover: The cover is famous for featuring She-Hulk in a provocative pose, strategically covering her breasts with her hands while proclaiming, "Okay, okay... so I did it for the cover!" This was a meta-commentary by Byrne on using sex appeal to drive sales, a practice common in comics at the time.
- Format: This issue was a "Deluxe Edition," featuring extra pages and a higher price point than a standard comic, justifying the double-sized story.
