SUPERMAN IS LOIS LANE’S SLUT

defrogITEM [via io9]: Coming this April: Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman’s Co-Creator Joe Shuster.
Published by ComicArts, the new graphic novel imprint from publisher Harry N. Abrams, it covers Shuster's relatively unknown 1950s sideline at illustrator for S&M magazine Nights of Horror.
A lot of the art is strikingly good.
To hear executive editor Charles Kochman tell it, it sounds like a fascinating story, as Nights of Horror was banned by the US govt in the 50s when comics were being blamed for America’s ongoing moral death spiral, but no one realized that one of the artists was the guy who created a character that was the embodiment of Truth, Justice and The American Way™.
In retrospect, it’s hard to see how they could have missed it, since Shuster apparently didn’t stray too far from his basic Clark/Lois character design.
To say nothing of the dead giveaways that appeared in the actual Superman comics.
Looking forward to the next installment featuring William Moulton Marston (creator of Wonder Woman, who also enjoyed herself some rope-play). Surely he did a little something on the side as well.
Man of steel,
This is dF
