‘Sexist’ Hulk pics anger Indian artist
AN artist is challenging sexist drawings of women in comic books by parodying them using male heroes in poses typically associated with females.
She-hulk has superhuman strength and speed and is one of the most formidable hand-to-hand combatants in the Marvel world.
On a 1991 comic book cover, she is shown in a seductive pose, wearing a G-string bikini with her curves sharply accentuated.
Indian artist Shreya Arora was shocked when she saw the image.
She said: “For Hulk the visual representation focuses on his strength.
“For She-hulk all we see is an emphasis on sexuality.”
