It's going to depend a lot on if you consider superhero spandex sexualized I guess.

I wouldn't, because it's not like they only do those for women. There are obviously artists who draw those kinds of costumes super sexualized, but it's not a built in thing with the type of costume necessarily.

Some are right from concept though, like Spider-Woman's design specifically framing her chest and crotch.

I think the issue there is that most superheroes aren't drawn wearing spandex or any kind of modern athletic material, they're drawn wearing body paint or latex. Mostly because it's easier to draw nudes than complex fabrics. I think it's getting a lot better - especially with more female artists. Babs Tarr and Jen Bartel draw sexy women but know how boobs work with fabric. Not that male artists couldn't find plenty of reference imagery of women in wetsuits/swimsuits or leotards and realise very few fabrics accommodate individual boobs.

On another note - do any of the names here stand out? I'm always jealous of you guys in the US's access to artists at cons.

Those all look like indie or self publishing/web artists.

It was in September, but Thought Bubble Festival looks like it had a really good artist guest list. It’s in Leeds though, I think that’s a few hours from London?

It did! I found out via Jen Bartel's twitter too late to really do anything about it unfortunately.
