Comic books portray women as images of adolescent sexual fantasies, which please the men. This idea can be seen clearly through heroines, such as wonder-woman and cat-woman. The revealing costumes and unrealistic proportions assert that the artist drew only for the attentions of young men. On the other hand, men's costumes are not revealing any of their body. In my opinion, these specious drawings of women are indirectly implying that women have less social status than men.
One might say that men are also drawn with unrealistic proportions, such as Super-man. His tight costume reveals every outline of his arm and leg muscles, and his huge, muscular body is out of proportions compared to his small head. So with these unrealistic stories and characters, one might say that women are not drawn in way to imply that they’re in a secondary status in society. But looking at an unrealistic view, heroines are excessively showing their body parts compared to other heroes. For example, the picture shows Super-man and a woman. As one can see, Super-man has his usual costume: not showing any of his body or not sexually attracting the readers. On the other hand, the woman excessively shows her body, like her slim legs and part of her big breast. Teenage boys were the most common readers of comic books, and looking at this picture with a boy’s point of view, there is a higher percentage of that teenager looking at the woman more closely than the main hero, Super-man. In conclusion, women are drawn to draw attention and make the story more interesting for the teenagers—not for other purposes.
The woman has slim legs, big breasts, and thin waist which are an ideal body for women. In comics, women are drawn and used only to sell comics by pleasing teenagers with revealing costumes. In my opinion, this action indirectly gives an inferior status to women.
