PHOTOS: Are You Ready for the World's First Gay Mormon Superhero?
Take a look at an exclusive preview of the comic book featuring the world's first gay Mormon superhero, Stripling Warrior.
Independent comic book creator Brian Andersen (So Super Duper) is on a mission to make history with Stripling Warrior, the world's first comic book series featuring a gay Mormon superhero.
The series tells the tale of Sam Shepard, a happily out and newly married gay man whose life is changed forever after he is visited by an angel from heaven on his wedding night and is summoned to be the Hand of God on Earth.
Why was he chosen? How does his sexuality impact his role as a servant of the divine? And how does the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints react when it hears a gay man has been sent on a mission from the heavens? You'll have to read the story to find out, but until then take a look at the eight-page preview below and then head over to the Stripling Warrior KickStarter page to lend your support to making comic book history.
