Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman's Co-creator
Joe Shuster showcases rare and recently discovered erotic
artwork by the most seminal artist in comics, Joe Shuster.
Created in the early 1950s when Shuster was down on his
luck after suing his publisher, DC Comics, over the
copyright for Superman, he illustrated these images for an
obscure series of magazines called "Nights of Horror,"
published under the counter until they were banned by the
U.S. Senate. Juvenile deliquency, Dr. Fredric Wertham, and
the Brooklyn Thrill Killers gang all figure into this
sensational story.
The discovery of this artwork reveals the "secret identity"
of this revered comics creator, and is sure to generate
controversy and change the perception of the way we look at
Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and Jimmy Olsen forever.
The book includes reproductions of these images, and an
essay that provides a detailed account of the scandal and
the murder trial that resulted from the publication of this
racy material.
