A rare – hence expensive – Eric Stanton paperback.
John Cleve was a pseudonym of the minor science fiction writer Andrew J. Offutt.
Why was the publisher being punished? Did he publish books like Punished Publisher?

He had to learn that writing a story is one thing,living it is another!
As a sissy, I am happy to post next to Teresa Bowers..I love the drawing!
IIRC he was punished for what would today be called sexual harassment (and general male-chauvinist mistreatment) of one of the women pictured (his secretary)…–C.K.
I suspect the idea for the story was Stanton’s own, knowing the vexed relationship artists have with publishers!
This was advertised in the 1980 Stanton Archives Catalogue as item B-2, priced $7: “Handbook of female-lib. Dominant women doing to Robert Caswell what every man would like to do to them. The tables are turned in a fantasy world that could be real. A Soft Cover Book, 81 Illustrations, 48 Pages.”
According to the accompanying samples, the brunette is “Ann Adams .. author of seven books, all published by Dolphin Press.” The man is “Robert Caswell .. son of the founder and now president of Dolphin Press.” The blonde is “Joy Sloan .. Editor-in-chief at Dolphin Press, a very competent woman.”
Dian Hanson, in her introduction to “Eric Stanton: The Dominant Wives & Other Stories” (Taschen, 1998), claims to have seen a copy in 1976: “the voluptuous beauties outwit and outwrestle their abusive employer and force him to fellate a monstrous strap-on dildo.”
I knew an adult magazine editor in New York (not Dian Hanson) who had a Xerox of that Stanton cover on an office file cabinet.
Parenthetically, I wrote a story which Dian published in the February 1998 issue of Leg Show–one of many of mine which she printed–entitled “Punishing the Pornographer.” Sardax provided a good illustration for it. The tale was set in the early 1980s and captured in a realistic femdom genre story the feminist fury of the era against the creators of magazine porn. It included everything from the “feminist” slapping around the “pornographer” to dressing him up as a sissy in order to humiliate and domesticate him for her purposes.
One of the good things about writing for Leg Show was that the relative lack of censorship restrictions, and Dian’s appreciation of good writing, allowed a scribe to really explore femdom in all its complex psychosexual ramifications. When I edited Leg World from 2004 to 2009, I continued writing stories in that vein, but the Canadian censorship restrictions on that publication didn’t allow for quite as much free rein. However, for a period in the 1990s, Leg Action also had looser Canadian restrictions, so I wrote a number of interesting stories for that as well. I miss those days…
Irv, thank you for sharing that.
Hey I remember that one Irv. Good to hear about your participation . Yeah -though I didn’t realize it at the time they were good days for illustration. Once Dian left -or was she pushed?-I didn’t carry on with it as I knew it would never be the same connection. Dian encouraged good writing, photography and art and the limitations of magazines meant that content was properly edited. Now theres a splurge of everything which presents completely different circumstances-good in some ways, bad in others.
The best Femdom that Stanton ever did. (What comes close is “Female Supremacist” in Stantoon 21) Cleve’s writing in this is excellent.
Hey, Richard, thanks for providing a great forum to share such recollections!
Hi Sardax–good to see you here, too. Yeah, that was a good era, the 1990s and early 2000s, for fiction and illos in the adult mags. Some of those Leg Shows would be collector’s items just for your illustrations!
