Desde Superman, creado en 1938, hasta los universos transmedia de DC y Marvel de hoy, los superhéroes siempre han sido sexys. Y su sensualidad siempre ha sido controvertida, inspirando censura y pánico moral. Sin embargo, aunque ha inspirado chistes e insinuaciones, acusaciones de depravación moral y discursos académicos esporádicos, el tema de la sexualidad de los superhéroes es como la sexualidad de los superhéroes en sí misma: aparentemente obvia pero notoriamente ausente. Supersex: Sexuality, Fantasy, and the Superhero es el primer libro académico dedicado específicamente a desentrañar la complicada relación del género de los superhéroes con la sexualidad.

Explorando temas e imágenes sexuales dentro de los cómics, programas de televisión y películas convencionales, así como producciones independientes y explícitamente pornográficas que se adaptan a diversas orientaciones y perversiones, Supersex ofrece una perspectiva nueva (y lasciva) sobre la popularidad histórica y contemporánea del género de los superhéroes. A lo largo de catorce ensayos sobre Superman, Batman, los X-Men y muchos otros, Anna F. Peppard y sus colaboradores presentan la sexualidad de los superhéroes como peligrosamente emocionante y emocionantemente peligrosa, encapsulando los peores impulsos del género de los superhéroes y los más productivamente rebeldes. Supersex argumenta que el sexo está en el centro de nuestra fascinación por los superhéroes, incluso, ya veces especialmente, cuando las capas y las medias permanecen puestas.

From Superman, created in 1938, to the transmedia DC and Marvel universes of today, superheroes have always been sexy. And their sexiness has always been controversial, inspiring censorship and moral panic. Yet though it has inspired jokes and innuendos, accusations of moral depravity, and sporadic academic discourse, the topic of superhero sexuality is like superhero sexuality itself—seemingly obvious yet conspicuously absent. Supersex: Sexuality, Fantasy, and the Superhero is the first scholarly book specifically devoted to unpacking the superhero genre’s complicated relationship with sexuality.

Exploring sexual themes and imagery within mainstream comic books, television shows, and films as well as independent and explicitly pornographic productions catering to various orientations and kinks, Supersex offers a fresh—and lascivious—perspective on the superhero genre’s historical and contemporary popularity. Across fourteen essays touching on Superman, Batman, the X-Men, and many others, Anna F. Peppard and her contributors present superhero sexuality as both dangerously exciting and excitingly dangerous, encapsulating the superhero genre’s worst impulses and its most productively rebellious ones. Supersex argues that sex is at the heart of our fascination with superheroes, even—and sometimes especially—when the capes and tights stay on.
