New York Times spotlights gay superheroes, fans and creators

This New York Times feature, by the newspaper’s resident comics reporter George Gene Gustines, is interesting for a few reasons, not the least of which is the amount of territory it covers: It starts out focusing on a gay costume-fetish party in New York City’s West Village before moving on to the increased visibility of gay superhero-comics fans, creators and characters.

The article includes quotes from gay and bisexual creators like Allan Heinberg, Phil Jimenez, Patty Jeres, Andy Mangels and Bob Schreck, as well as a slide show spotlighting prominent gay superheroes.
