I’m thrilled to announce that I’m going to be blogging for Geeks OUT, a terrific queer nerd culture organization. My first post is up now – it’s a close queer read of Marvel Comics’ 1986 masterpiece, Steelgrip Starkey and the All-Purpose Power Tool. This limited series, about a hunky construction worker and his magic tool, was an eye-opener for me as a kid, with its (inadvertent?) homoeroticism and loving portrayals of the masculine form. I, of course, make fun of it, in a panel-by-panel breakdown. This is part one of a three-part series, looking at the first two issues. Take a look!
