Superhero Sunday: Superhero Pin-Up Boys

If you can imagine superheroes occupying this material world then the artist, Roger Dorion (Shadowsaturn), is the man they would hire to promote and market themselves as product for the "eager-to-know-anything and-anxious-to-have-any-contact-whatsoever " public. Mr. Dorion imagines that Superhero Beefcake would be in big demand. His art is devoted to making every eligible popular hero into a pin-up model or what might be thought of as a "superfit" model. In Dorion's work superheroes only need the allure of their fabulous costume-clad physiques to sell themselves. Powers are secondary to physical beauty. Icing on the beefcake, so to speak. There are no explosions, thwarting natural disasters and unnatural monsters, or wrestling matches with super villains in these pictures. They are all just solid and simply beautiful portraits of super fellas. Drool city here we come!
