Bill Ward: Oral Service

Bill Ward at his most awkward. Hard to be sure exactly what he is doing while she whips him.

Gene Bilbrew Devil Woman

I have no idea of Gene Bilbrew’s original intent. Make up your own scenario.

Seems to be my day for Femdom devil women.

Gene Bilbrew’s Princess Dominata

Was this produced under John Willie’s direction or influence?

Fantasia #12

Hopefully she’ll find another use for that hairbrush later.

Bilbrew Fantasia Twelve

Los Angeles-born illustrator also known as Van Rod and Bondy. He began his fetish comic work in the late ’40s and early ’50s, producing strips for Irving Klaw’s Movie Star News, after working for the Will Eisner Comic Book Studio. Eric Stanton — who he’d met while attending Burne Hogarth’s School of Visual Arts — may have first introduced him to Irving Klaw. He largely set the standard that other fetish comics illustrators followed. As with many of the Movie Star News artists (Jim, Ruiz), the strips from the period he is best known for are few and far between, scattered among the hidden collections of his fans, as few of the originals have survived. He also drew for Fantasia, Exotique and Nutrix, and did forced-feminization art for the latter, although his bondage work is best remembered

Fantasia #14

Femdom Seapony?

Bilbrew Fantasia Fourteen

Born in Los Angeles, Gene Bilbrew made his debut in the Los Angeles Sentinel with the series ‘The Bronze Bomber’, together with Bill Alexander. After this, he made the series ‘Hercules’ in Health Magazine. He then became an assistant to Will Eisner on ‘The Spirit’. He met Eric Stanton, who suggested he start working for publisher Irving Klaw.

Ping-pong Paddle Punishment

Reproductions of Fantasia are hard to find. A pity since Gene Bilbrew’s covers seem atypiclly appealing and pretty.

Miss Kinsey’s Report

Strictly an implied female domination cover. Not too difficult to twist your imagination with Gene Bilbrew.

Female Sadist

A sadistic woman whipping a bound man as imagined by Gene Bilbrew working as Van Rod.

Fantasia #1

The covers of the first couple of issue of Fantasia that I saw were amusing, light.

Lightness, a willingness to be gently playful are rare in fetish work. Being a man given to irony whose favorite things in life include P.G. Wodehouse and old musical comedies I regret this lack.

But I don’t fault the artists. An attempt at wit can easily prove to be regrettable clownishness. And the paying customers often want severity.

Bilbrew Fantasia One

Bilbrew, an African-American, met Eric Stanton while both were students at The School of Visual Arts in NYC. Here Bilbrew studied under Burne Hogarth, creator of the famous Tarzan comic strip. It was via Stanton that Bilbrew met and came to work for Klaw in 1951.

Elsewhere a Fantasia cover with F/f art by (probably) Bill Alexander.

Gene Bilbrew: Bondage & Discipline

Ordinarily I shy away from posting BDSM illustrations that show women in bondage on Femdom Artists. But both of these Gene Bilbrew covers have Femdomish elements.

Halloween

Fantasia 19 has a Halloween themed Gene Bilrew cover.

Femdom Halloween Witch

Seems like there should be more Halloween F/m art.

His Dreams Came True

A feminization drawing by Gene Bilbrew “America’s Foremost Illustrator.”

Feminization works out much more easily and successfully in illustrations than actuality. Sadly for those that crave and need the experience.

Gene Bilbrew His Dreams Came True

Secretary’s Revenge

The Secretary Dominatrix is a very common white collar Femdom fantasy.

You have role reversal, punishment for real or imagined wrongdoing and blackmail.

Secretary's Revenge Exotique Novelette Gene Bilbrew Art

The Gene Bilbrew cover illustration is merely generic.

Secretary’s Revenge was an Exotique Novelette. Pity the ancillary John Willie publications were collected along with the runs of Exotique and Bizarre.

She Stud

This Gene Bilbrew cover of She Stud puts me in mind of Eric Stanton. Stanton often enjoyed making visible the difference in power of a tough woman and a comparatively impotent man.

She Stud Tough Woman in the Gym

She Stud must make quite a workout partner.

Fantasia #6

Kinky in a vague sort of way.

Bilbrew Fantasia Six

Bilbrew made his fetish art debut in in 1951. He went on to create characters like Princess Elaine and Madame la Bondage. He used pseudonyms, including Van Rod, G.B. Bondy and Eneg.

At Her Feet

I’m fond of all of the illustrations Gene Bilbrew did under the name Van Rod. Like this one of manacle-wearing man at the feet of a dominant woman holding a cat.

Manacled slave at her feet.

Jet Bondage

Gene Bilbrew drew many exciting female sadists but sometimes his illustrations were pedestrian (to be kind). Perhaps Tortura Press didn’t pay well.

Gene Bilbrew cover, Jet Bondage.

Or does the idea of being bound and whipped by women thrill you so deeply you don’t even think about the quality of the illustration.

Ultra Fetish

The first issue of Ultra magazine promised Wrestling Gals, Bizarre Fads and Exotic Fashion and sported a Gene Bilbrew cover.

Gene Bilbrew Ultra Number One

Inside, a classic shorter and submissive Eric Stanton boyfriend or husband with the woman who rules him (a billy club? – ouch!).

And Gene Bilbrew again.

Gene Bilbrew Ultra First Issue

Looks much like Bizarre, Exotique and Fantasia magazines.
