AND WHILE WE'RE IN THE REALM OF SCI FI



Our good friend Valerie sent this story from Boing Boing…

"Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman's Co-creator Joe Shustershowcases rare and recently discovered erotic artwork by the most seminalartist in comics, Joe Shuster. Created in the early 1950s when Shuster wasdown on his luck after suing his publisher, DC Comics, over the copyrightfor Superman, he illustrated these images for an obscure series of magazinescalled Nights of Horror, published under the counter until they were bannedby the U.S. Senate. Juvenile delinquency, Dr. Fredric Wertham, and theBrooklyn Thrill Killers gang all figure into this sensational story."

A quick google informed me that "these were never connected to Schuster". Funny - my first thought was "Oh ho! What are Lois and Clark up to?"
