Men's underwear blog: Shirtless Superheroes
It's amazing what I find what I surf a little bit.
Today I discovered Shirtless Superheroes, an excellent blog site featuring scans of comic book superheroes with their shirts off and their pants down. These aren't scans from comic book or anime porn -- they're the real deal from the pages of the original comics with shirtless images, workout images, bathing images and naked (comic-book style) images of Peter Parker, Dick Grayson, Green Arrow, Nick Fury, X-Men, the Human Torch, Batman, Superman and pretty much every other guy superhero you can imagine.
Honestly, looking through this site, I'm realizing that alot of my first impressions of an attractive and desirable male body shape and my view of my own body -- its masculinity, sexuality and failings -- came from reading superhero comic books back in the 1980s, molding my prepubescent mind's view of manhood and what a real man is supposed to look like. I've never had a superhero physique, and it's always bothered me and pulled me down mentally, and now I know why. Sorting through the images of comic book heroes shirtless and otherwise baring their flesh at Shirtless Superheroes, I felt a rush of that old feeling coming back from when I was a kid and saw a comic book hero shirtless. No wonder my view of the perfect male physique is slightly out of whack and unreachable -- it's based on comic book drawings of fictional characters!
I've posted a couple more images after the jump that I found that I thought you would like, including Peter Parker in his underwear, an all-out gay bedroom scene from the Green Lantern, Tim Drake (aka Robin) caught in his underwear from a Teen Titans comic, and Spider-man stripping down to his red briefs to battle Venom. Click through to the other side to see those and click on each image to see a full size version, and be sure to visit Shirtless Superheroes.


































Impressive, I have just found that Comics were also what influenced my aesthetic understanding of beauty in human bodies. I had never considered this before, but always felt very attracted to my comic books (which I love collecting).
It has always being all about guys with a well fitted body and very long/tall contextures. This reminds me also of knights drawn in some comic strips of “The Lord of the Rings”.
