Meanwhile, Variety reported that Yoe’s book Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman’s Co-Creator Joe Shuster has optioned for major motion picture by the Gotham Group.

Sorry I can’t be there. Craig is panelist extraordinaire.

The NYC book (R)aunch party for Secret-Identity is already legendary.

Hee-hee! Love the “spanking machine”. Yet as kinky as the images are, there’s a goofy innocence about them.
