The original Superman artist Joe Shuster was rightfully bitter about the huge financial loss selling the rights to Superman caused him and his co-creator Jerry Siegel. Joe was going blind while working as a mailman and living by himself in a ratty apartment.
He made BDSM porn comics with Superman and supporting character lookalikes. Some people say it was out of pure financial desperation and a case of lookalike art that caused this. Others say it was a jab at DC comics for all that they did to him.
The story is pretty interesting of how they found this out. I’ll try and find the article because it’s wonderfully written.

CRYING OVER DICK.
"Hunt Bowman" what an egregiously masc name. Just ferociously bro. I can smell the Axe body spray from here.
Description below cut.
Image ID: a comic book cover in a warm, even hot, palette of reds. At top in large font: Planet Comics. Smaller font: No. 63, Winter. 10 cents. Circular icon: Fiction House Magazines. In the foreground, the cover depicts a blonde woman in a white dress with a bright red belt and green helmet with wires coming off it. She climbs a rope ladder to the top of a metal ship, but at the top, what appears to be a man-ant hybrid has shot the ladder with some kind of gun. The woman drops her revolver and stares in shock at the man-ant. Through a window in the side of the ship, we see a uniformed man at the controls, firing the ship's guns at a giant lizard stalking them through a lava field. Outside, a man in the same uniform swings from the ladder and shoots with his own revolver at the same giant lizard. In the background, a massive blue drill bursts from the lava, while hazy reddish clouds obscure the ruins of a city. A text block over the right of the image reads: "Paradise or Inferno? Hunt Bowman battles to preserve his citadel of freedom from Voltan vengeance in Lost World! Also other top features." End image ID.
Judging by the lava field, it's not going so well.
