Spandex: Fast and Hard

Martin Eden’s Spandex: Fast and Hard is a one-shot from Titan Comics (2012) that kicks off a series centered on a team of queer superheroes. Written and illustrated entirely by Eden, this debut issue introduces a vibrant, campy world where colorful costumes and high-octane action meet heartfelt LGBTQ+ representation. It matters as a bold, creator-owned statement that put inclusive superhero storytelling front and center in the early 2010s.
