Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman's Co-creator Joe Shuster
By Craig Yoe
Okay, so I bought it hoping there would be sexy art. What I got was an interesting look at how Superman was created, his creators betrayed, and how Shuster came to draw fetish art (and yes, all of the art is in the book). The fetish books were linked to crime and banned by Congress in the McCarthy hey-day but the images are fairly tame by today’s standards. I rather enjoyed the history portion of the book and the glimpse into the history of erotica in the fetish art section. I suppose if you’re offended by a Lois Lane-look alike in her underwear whipping a Superman look-alike you should probably not read this book (and never, ever go to the internet). Grade B+
