Secret Identity Handbooks

The 'Spider-Man Baptism' by Tomas Marussiac Explores Themes of Intimacy

— November 15, 2011 — Naughty
Tomas Marussiac continues its recent series of 'Spider-Man Baptism.' Spider-Man is a hero who hides his identity to the world, therefore, the series raises the question of who spiderman is and what his secret life entails. Spider-Man, Superman and Batman are all 20th century mythological legends. Mythological heroes of ancient Greece also had its negative face, such as Hercules who killed his family. So people do not create only positive characters because most mythological heroes can have a dark side.

Secret Handbook is a guide to create another form of mythology Spiderm-Man. Life as Spiderman is shown as a child's game (playing with toys is typical for Marussiac as a metaphor for the real world). Spider-Man reveals his identity: Peter Parker. Spiderman also reveals his own sexual intimacy. The female Spider-Man woman may be pregnant and she can give birth to the new Spiderman. Both can live their private lives. A series of prints are available for download and impress. All prints are created in super large postcards, which the viewer can send via mail.
Trend Themes
1. Superhero Mythological Legends - There is an opportunity for new forms of mythology to be created around modern-day superhero characters, incorporating both positive and negative traits.
2. Reimagining Secret Identities - There is potential to explore the concept of secret identities in new and unconventional ways, such as revealing intimate details of a character's personal life.
3. Interactive Print Media - There is an opportunity to create interactive print media, such as super large postcards, that engage viewers and allow them to participate in the storytelling experience.
Industry Implications
1. Comic Books and Graphic Novels - The comic book and graphic novel industry can capitalize on the opportunity to create new and more complex superhero characters that are relevant to modern-day audiences.
2. Digital Art and Print Design - The digital art and print design industry can explore innovative ways to incorporate interactive elements into their designs, such as incorporating augmented reality technology.
3. Creative Writing and Storytelling - There is an opportunity for writers and storytellers to push the boundaries of traditional storytelling conventions by exploring unconventional subjects and themes, such as superhero intimacy and personal relationships.
