HOT PANTS & SPANDEX GENDER REPRESENTATION AMER COMICS SC

(W) Esther De Dauw

Hot Pants and Spandex Suits offers a far-reaching look at how masculinity and femininity have been represented in American superhero comics, from the Golden and Silver Ages to the Modern Age.

It also examines the genre's ambivalent treatment of LGBTQ representation and explores the intersection between gender and race.
