OK, yes: To gay comics fans like me, DC Comics' decision to hire an anti-gay activist like Orson Scott Card to write Superman - an iconic character who exists to represent humanity's noblest ideals of justice and compassion - is deeply dispiriting.īut it doesn't change the fact that today's mainstream superhero comics contain more LGBT characters than ever. The Heart of Thomas, by Moto Hagio, was one of the first Japanese comics to deal with same-sex relationships.
