Secret Skin: an essay in unitard theory.
It's about superhero costumes, and everything that they do and don't do, and about fantasy and transformation, and includes the line 'Superheroism is a kind of transvestism; our superdrag serves at once to obscure the exterior self that no longer defines us while betraying, with half-unconscious panache, the truth of the story we carry in our hearts.'
Happy article.
