Inspired by nothing, I realized this morning that Neal Adams is probably the artist I’d credit with making Superman sexy. Even though he has always been portrayed as an ideal male, he reads pretty much neutered up to the 70s (imo). Even with Lois always chasing him around, he was objectified as a husband (provider) or father symbol more than a sexual one.Neal’s Superman though, isn’t just handsome, he’s damn fine looking. There’s a body under his clothes, a masculine form you want to see more of. His smile is warm and welcoming, his eyes seductive with the impression that there is thought and desire behind them. He’s passionate. He’s inviting you to his body with his body. -- source link
