Gay superhero comic nominated for prestigious award!
Controversial new comic Spandex has been nominated for an Eagle Award – the
comics equivalent of the Oscars! The comic – about a group of gay superheroes – is
nominated in the category for Best British Colour Comic Book.
Spandex creator Martin Eden commented on the nomination: “I’m completely shocked
and I really didn’t expect it! I’m so proud of my comic and I’m really trying to do things
that have never been done in a comic before. I’m up against some big titles in my
category, so it’d be so exciting if the independent guy won! I have some amazing plans
for the next few issues of Spandex, and I can’t wait to unleash it all on the comic-
reading world.”
Issue Two of the comic features a guest appearance by Her Majesty herself, the Queen
– as a Buckingham Palace burglary sparks off Spandex’s latest adventure! The
Brighton-based gay-team then head to Japan to recover the crown jewels and replace
a fallen team-mate. There, they face the formidable swords of the Pink Ninjas, the
terrifying Gayzilla, and they recruit Neon, the world’s first gay, fluorescent ninja!
Spandex is now being published as an ongoing comic title, with eventual book
collections in the pipeline. “The original plan was to publish issue one, and then work
on a bigger book,” says Martin, “but after global media attention, it was just too exciting
to wait!” Spandex hit the headlines back in November – not just in the UK, but in
Australia, Russia, America, Germany – all over the world – too.
