Geeks OUT

Steelgrip Starkey (the final chapter) up now at Geeks Out!

The final part of my excruciatingly detailed analysis of Marvel’s Steelgrip Starkey and the All-Purpose Power Tool is up now at Geeks Out! There are links to the first two parts at the top, if you’d like to get caught up. And why wouldn’t you? I’ve never been prouder of writing 1500 words that are almost entirely dick jokes.

Check it out here!

Now blogging for Geeks OUT!

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!
