Comics titan Stan "The Man" Lee and the Showtime Network are developing an hour-long drama based on Perry Moore's Lamda Award winning young adult novel, Hero, which tells the story of Thom Creed, a high school basketball star with two secrets: That he's gay and that he has the power to heal people. Moore is penning the script and serving as one of the executive producers. [Variety]

Prepare yourselves, readers! Author Perry Moore, who graced these pages last year, has received two offers from two television networks to adapt his gay superhero novel, Hero. Says Moore: "He described the live-action series as labyrinthine and similar to Lost. "It’s not campy either — it’s not The Gayest American Hero. He just happens to be gay. It’s just one of the many things he wrestles with.'" Comic icon Stan Lee may sign on to produce, which has Moore all sorts of excited, of course. [NY Mag]
