    Default Milo Manara Gives a Spider-Woman Gift to Frank Cho

    Revisiting one of comicdom's biggest controversies, Milo Manara gives Frank Cho a special Spider-Woman cover for "fighting censorship." I don't know how to spoiler a NSFW image so I'll just link it.

    Say what you want, these two are definitely defiant in the face of criticism.

    Does Spiderwoman paint herself red to fight crime? Or use a thin sheen of latex?

    If Cho and Manara want to draw smut that's their own business. I just wish that they stopped acting like noble champions against censorship.

    What's ironic is when I clicked the link, an ad for "The Mindy Project" popped up.

    They ain't gonna draw dick outlines for Spiderman so I don't know why they are trying to pretend they are.

    One thing that as fascinated me over the years is that almost all male superheroes are drawn dickless or nearly dickless. And that's what fans want. When there's even a hint of something down there, like with Alex Ross's Steel, it's not well-received.

    I never noticed until high school. I was in my art club and the art teacher went on a rant about how the men were drawn like ken dolls after she found out that one of the club members wanted to draw for the big two. I could never unsee it after that.

    Nerdy knitpick moment...

    That's actually Citizen Steel.

    I was never sure that WAS a bulge. Probably why Ross got away with it.

    Seemed more like lines on his briefs to indicate he was turning as part of his pose.

    *If* the fans want this artistic approach, it's because they've become accustomed to the conceit. But the origins of the conceit stem from wider cultural predilections, which sought at all times to efface male sexuality, even with real-life performers. Reputedly Burt Ward as Robin was always having his shorts adjusted so that he wouldn't display his maleness to an innocent TV audience.

    But you just can't criticize any cheesecake artist. You just can't! No matter how shitty their art is. Doesn't matter that they don't understand proportions, perspective or how fabric works. Or if they'd get laughed out of the many fine art institutions worldwide.

    And the physics of wall-crawling in heels doesn't work either.
