Born in Los Angeles in 1923 , Gene Bilbrew made his debut in the Los
Angeles Sentinel with the series 'The Bronze Bomber', together with Bill
Alexander.
He met Eric Stanton
while both were students at The School of Visual Arts in NYC. In 1951 it was
Stanton who suggested that Bilbrew start working for publisher Irving Klaw's News/Nutrix
company, editor of many books and comics on bondage such as Movie
Star.
Bilbrew made his debut in this genre in 1951, and went on to
create characters like Princess Elaine and Madame la Bondage.
He also had many illustrations published in "Exotique" magazine
between 1956 and 1959.
He used
several pseudonyms, such as Van Road, G.B. Bondy and Eneg (An anagram of
Gene).
