Friday Miscellany, March 6

/1/ It's a bird! It's a plane! It's porn!

Author Craig Yoe wrote in to tell me about his new book Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman's Co-Creator Joe Shuster. Paraphrasing Craig, "After selling the rights to Superman for $130, Shuster then did S&M porn for under-the-counter booklets called "Nights of Horror," sold in Times Square in the early fifties." More here, including some NSFW images. Buy this book from Amazon.com

/2/ Fantastic new book design blog

Designer Kimberly Glyder shows comps that didn't get published. Via another goodie, The Book Cover Archive blog.

/3/ BBC Radio Adapts JG Ballard's Drowned World.
