Want to see SuicideGirls bring the secret fetish drawings of Superman's artist Joe Shuster to life?

Joe Shuster changed the landscape for superheroes. The bold lines and primary colors of Superman, a character he created with writer Jerry Segal, put other action figures in the shade. However unsuccessful legal action lodged in 1946 against National Allied Publications (a forerunner of DC Comics), who claimed ownership of the character, meant that Shuster and Segal missed out on the millions their character would ultimately generate. Worse still, to add insult to injury, following the court case, the duo were stripped of their byline by the publisher.

Shuster and Segal were never able to repeat the success they achieved with their Kryptonite-shy guy. In the era immediately following the war, America no longer felt the need for supermen, and their 1947 follow up, Funnyman, fell flat. By the early 1950s Shuster was reduced to drawing cartoons for cash.

Fast-forward to the mid-2000s, when a comics historian named Craig Yoe discovers a copy of the little-known underground fetish rag, Nights of Horror, in a dusty cardboard box on a book stall. Yoe thought the whip-wielding women depicted in the illustrations bore a remarkable resemblance to the nubile lines of the otherwise chaste Lois Lane. Further research proved Yoe's initial suspicions were likely correct, and with the weight of world renowned art publishers Abrams behind him, he set about compiling a comprehensive compendium of the illicit fetish art of Joe Shuster that had lain undercover for over half a century.

We caught up with Yoe on the eve of the West Coast launch of his book, Secret Identity, which will see several of Shuster's sexy panels brought to life with the help of SuicdeGirls.

Cosplay at 2009 Comic Con

Playing dress-up is always fun, and there's no better place to do it than at Comic Con(July 23-26 @ San Diego Convention Center).

Every year thousands of fans come out and pay tribute to their favorite characters. I wish I was attending this year to witness what over the top costumes will show up!

This year, the SuicideGirls, will be attending Comic Con with not one, but TWO booths! I can't wait to see what the Girls will be putting on -- and taking off -- this year at the ultimate superhero, sci-fi and genre event.

Eve Myles: Torchwood

Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) traded her ho-hum career as a policewoman to work as a professional alien catcher at Torchwood, an organization which legend has it is "separate from the government, outside the police, and beyond the United Nations."

Created by Doctor Who writer/producer/guru Russell T. Davies, Torchwood debuted in the UK in 2006. Picked up by BBC America in 2007, it has since become one of the station's hottest properties to date.

Eve gave an interview while she was on a promotional trip in New York to get the inside scoop on Torchwood's other worldly success.

Dave Navarro Tattoo Crazy About Girl In A Coma

While on tour with Jane's Addiction, apparently guitarist Dave Navarro got so into Austin,Texas female rockers Girl In a Coma that he got a tattoo of lead singer Nina Diaz as shown above on the cover of the band's new disk, Trio BC.

Dave Navarro is not the first celebrity fan of the band, who toured with Morrissey after the ex-Smiths frontman saw them at the Viper Room.

I caught their show in Portland on July 11, which was awesome. The band continue their tour through Aug 29th.

Martin Atkins: Pigface

Pigface is a tough band to pin down. With a constantly-shifting lineup that reads like a who's-who of industrial and hard rock, it's always a surprise to see who'll show up to play on each new album, or even each night of a tour. The one constant, the man at the center of the band, is drummer/producer/impresario Martin Atkins.

Martin's credentials as a drummer are impressive: he's played with Public Image, Ltd., Ministry, and Killing Joke. He plays drums in Pigface, but he also produces, which involves managing musical contributions from around the world. The new Pigface record, 6, features members of KMFDM, Atari Teenage Riot, Apollo 440 and Zeromancer, among others.

You may know Martin as Suicide Girls' Tour:Smart columnist, offering advice and stories to bands who are looking to hit the road successfully. He also teaches classes on touring and music marketing at Columbia College in Chicago, and he's currently starting up his own hands-on school, Revolution Number Three, where students learn about the music business by working in the music business.

Martin is clearly excited about the new album and the new school, but, considering that he literally wrote the book on touring (it's called Tour:Smart), it shouldn't come as a surprise that he seems most charged up about going on tour. As he explained to Suicide Girls, absolutely anything can happen at a Pigface show. Lineups and stage sets that change every night might not make journalists or sound engineers happy, but Martin Atkins is loving every minute of it.
