| Synopsis: |
"Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman's Co-creator Joe Shuster" showcases rare and recently discovered early erotic artwork by the most seminal artist in comics. Created in the late 1940s when Shuster was down on his luck after suing "DC Comics" over the copyright for "Superman", he illustrated these images for an obscure series of magazines called "Nights of Terror", published under the counter until it was banned by the U.S. Senate. 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, Lana Lang and Jimmy Olsen forever. The book includes reproductions of these images and an introduction that provides a detailed account of the scandal and the court trial that resulted from the publication of this racy material. |
