• Insubordination
College
In the
30 episodes of this comic serial, Mr. Bilbrew exercises his artistry
with apparent glee. Embellished with clever fetish details, his
panels glitter with the dangerous glamour of his dominant women in
high-heeled boots. It is as though he enjoyed exercising his formidable skill
with inks and washes to produce these beguiling female faces and
figures. Their lines, precise and lovely, delineate graceful limbs on
lithe bodies. In this early work, his pictures virtually explode with
dynamic ornament and feminine appeal.
Because of
misbehavior, Betsy's parents send her to a quasi-military academy
where she can be taught proper conduct. There, she finds herself at
the bottom of a chain of command that impresses her with the
unpleasant consequences of disobedience. Along with her fellow
students, she endures stringent penalties, supervised by the
strictest of Deans. In the end, the state militia occupy the school,
putting an end to its rampant excesses, and Betsy has an opportunity
to give the Dean a taste of her own discipline.
The characters in these ink and
watercolor drawings are as pretty as can be, with long legs and
alluring curves. Some are garbed in military uniforms that include
spike-heeled boots. Other coeds dress in a sexy assortment of
stockings, garter belts, panties, bras, and high-heeled shoes.
Originally sold by mail order,
photographic enlargement prints were the cost-effective duplication
option for short runs prior to the invention of electrostatic copy
technology. The chemical-based photo printing method resulted in
inconsistent tonality in the small reproductions.
All thirty episodes contain
paragraphs of the first-person narrative and two or more panels.
Most panels show two or more characters. Both the original version
and the re-print used one page to display the contents of each
episode, which may have had as many as five panels and 10 characters. In both cases, the 30-episode comic serial appeared on 30
pages.
The optimized ebook begins each
episode with its prose. In sequence, each panel is shown complete
with its border at the end a wide ebook page that fills the screen
with proportions that match the aspect ratio of monitors. When
appropriate, panel content is next disassembled, positioning characters in separate frames that fill the page from top to bottom.
Interesting details are repeated, enlarged next to the complete
character or on the following page.
In the optimized ebook, the
picture content of 30 episodes appears on 130 pages, which makes
everything easy to see. The text of each episode has been placed on
another 30 pages. This technique of ebook presentation intends to
reduce the need for zooming and scrolling. For those who like these
50-year-old illustrations, the optimized ebook version is the best
way to enjoy them.
• Duchess Shakkles
A
Swiss draftsman, Jim’s fine pen work shows the consistency of an
accomplished technician. His slender
figures have long legs and willowy curves and invariably wear
spike-heeled shoes or boots.
Some of the panels have spotty
black shading or shadowing and these regions have been lightened and
grayed. Generally, the images have been brightened to reveal Jim's
graceful lines and limbs.
The construction of the Duchess
Shakkles ebook is similar to that of Insubordination College,
see above. The optimized ebook presentation offers a great venue for
looking at the pretty faces of Jim's shapely damsels in corsets,
stockings, short skirts, and tight dresses. Most of the episodes have
two or three panels. The picture content of 15 episodes fills 90+
ebook pages.
Bizarre Comix, Volume 8,
was recently offered on ebay (110146470195) for a buy-it-now price of
$37.50.
• Diana's
Ordeal
This listing is our first to offer both a Gene
Bilbrew and an Eric Stanton comic serial concurrently. Diana's
Ordeal is among his earliest fetish work, probably done before
his 25th birthday.
The work reads like a comic book,
with characters speaking dialog in balloons. A few of the scenes were
suggested by amusement park rides.
Although the sketchy graphic style
could fairly be characterized as primitive, even at this early date,
young Mr. Stanton understood the charm of heels and stockings on
damsels in distress. Attractive corsets brighten a few panels, too. For
those of us who were introduced to the art of this master through
Exotique, Bizarre Life or his 1990s anthologies, Diana's
Ordeal shows how his talent first appeared in ink.
Each
of 30 complete episodes has been positioned on a single ebook page.
This format replicates the format of the original photo prints.
Although clearer and brighter, the ebook shows the comic,
page-by-page, as sold by mail order by Irving Klaw in 1950.
These
are the 131st, 132nd, and 133rd ebooks we have listed on ebay.

• PROCESS
Pages
were scanned at 600 dpi and the resolution subsequently reduced to
155 dpi. The text was saved at 200 dpi and a sharpening filter was applied. I adjusted the tonality of the illustrations slightly and
retouched specks. In a few cases, multiple filters were applied to eliminate moiré patterns. The monochrome adjustments brighten the images and
disclose details.
The scans were assembled as a book in a publishing program. Then, the file was exported to Acrobat .pdf format. Acrobat files are opened in Acrobat Reader, available without charge for both PC and MAC platforms at adobe.com.
You can run an image viewer or video program at the same time you flip through the pages of an ebook in Acrobat Reader.
Reader allows zooming and rotation.
