Get ready for a superhero story like no other.

 (Cue the classic Superfriends theme song.)

Featuring:

Liberty– The glamorous transvestite

Mr. Muscles & Butch– Rock hard twins

Diva– Lesbian powerhouse

Indigo– The terrific teleporter

Glitter– Lord of light

and

Prowler– The gay ability guru

Together, they form the most fabulous superhero squad to hit the super-powered scene – Spandex!

Writer and artist Martin Eden took the indie comics community by storm with his self-published superhero story featuring  the adventures of the world’s first all-gay super-team and issues 1 -3 will be available as a single collection when Titan Books’ Spandex: Fast and Hard hits June 19.

“There aren’t many gay superheroes around, and there’s never been an all-gay super-team – until now!” Eden says. “This comic has been a labor of love for me – it’s fun and experimental, and I’m really excited about taking the characters and the comic to a much wider audience.”

You don’t need x-ray vision to see Eden’s passion in every page of Spandex. Filled with humor, drama (they are gay superheroes after all), and plenty of action, the adventures of the Brighton-based superhero team are a fun romp through the tights and flights genre.

Follow Spandex as they take on a 50-foot lesbian, battle pink ninjas, and tackle their own complicated love lives.

You can snag a copy of this sensational superhero story at Amazon, or order individual issues from the Spandex site.
