Hiya [waves] new reader - that trading card is awfully perfect. heh. Hmm, I have a copy of the advocate article in my bag... I guess I should read it... the author basically breaks down the gay appeal of superheroes into three points: like most gay kids, superheroes have to keep their "difference" a secret, comic books=soap operas and, third, superheroes are totally hot - which pretty much sums up why I read comics. Well, if you substitute "gay kids" for geeky outsider... that said, in both cases, the idea that what seperates you from the crowd also makes you extraordinary exerts a powerful draw.
