Showtime Developing
SuperGay Series HERO!!

I am – Hercules!!


The first novel from “Chronicles of Narnia” producer Perry Moore, about a closeted homosexual superhero, may become a Showtime series.

Moore is scripting the “Hero” pilot himself. Comics legend Stan Lee (“Iron Man,” “Hulk”) is aboard as a producer.

Booklist describes the book’s premise:

Thom Creed tries not to disappoint his dad, a disgraced caped crusader who now toils as a factory drudge, so he keeps his gay identity and his developing superpowers under wraps. Then he secretly tries out for the prestigious League, joining aspiring heroes in villain-busting adventures that escalate alongside more private discoveries.
