You might of heard the Etta James or Patti LaBelle versions, but Eugene Bilbrew (1923-1974) sung this first, as a member of the Basin Street Boys



Eugene Bilbrew gave up singing and became a comic book artist, his first job was with the father of the graphic novel, Will Eisner (no relation) on "the Spirit/Clifford"


He met another fetish comic artist, Eric Stanton who mostly drew femdom in black and white (he was also friends with Steve Ditko and did some work on Dr. Strange). Stanton introduced to a lot other nsfw comic artists and he became very prolific.

The man drew everything and anything, especially fetish porn :skip:

Since pics aren't embedable rn and because a lot of it IS :mjpls: and :dame: i'll post links to his art below:

SOMETHING BREWING - Pulp International

He cooked up a different formula for paperback art.

A lot of it reminds me of manga, but this was the early 50s-70s :wow:

I wouldn't call him a "hero", but he really is interesting and just goes to show how creative we are

Gene was a strange man with some demons, but I appreciate him as a breh into femdom :wow: :salute:

Another reason why we can't let significant details like this slip through the cracks. I'm JUST now finding out about this cat :snoop:

Before the Mayflower by Lerone Bennett is always good to re-read whenever one feels like that, there's a lot of us who simply never were recorded

Worse thing is, I legit forgot who told me

We can't do the griots dirty like that :wow:

That 50s "Swiss" look is still being copied today :wow:

And the covers had to be, the writing is almost always awful :mjlol:

You'd enjoy this book from 92 made to look like one whole pulp magazine, it's pretty great

thanks a lot for the link man! Appreciate it. Enjoy different takes from different time periods because it shows a glimpse of what the era was like/suppose to be like.

The 50-60s futuristic utopia art designs and the Y2K new millennium theme that’s popular now are two examples.

Breh....THIS is fukking awesome. I love comics and animation and draw myself and am always fascinated by the stories of black comic books artists and cartoonists, especially the few during the golden age of the medium, like Jackie Ormes. Theres a great book I've had my eyes on for the longest about the history of black comic books artists. I wish I could remember the name. But until then, this is a gem. Are there any photos of the guy?

It's crazy, comic books basically have their origin in ancient Egypt. The first known society to develop standards to consistently draw human proportions, and figures, in order to tell paneled stories with backgrounds and dialogue. Where we developed an entire written language that was based on illustration. It's a damn shame our culture doesn't embrace illustrating and cartooning like we should. It really is apart of our culture.

Is this the book you're thinking of? "Invisible Men: The Trailblazing Black Artists of Comic Books"

I just ran across it and was about to post it.
