New York / Koln: Bélier Press / Taschen, 1996. Fourth Printing / Reprint. Hardcover / Original Wraps. Very Good. Fourth Printing / Reprint. Hardcover / Original Wraps. As a bondage artist, John Willie is best known for his character Sweet Gwendoline, drawn with a clear, anatomically correct style that influenced later artists such as ENEG and Eric Stanton. The other characters in the Gwendoline sagas include U69 (censored to U89 in some editions), a raven-haired dominatrix, and Sir Dystic d'Arcy, the only prominent male character and likely a parody of Willie himself. The Gwendoline comic strip was published by Irving Klaw, who forced Stanton to paint clothes over the whip marks on the originals of "The Missing Princess." From the collection of Brian Cotnoir. Light shelf/edge wear, bumped corners else tight, bright, and unmarred. Color printed wrappers. 8vo. 12mo. Illus. (color, b/w). Laid in brochure.
