Eric Stanton: Bondage Enthusiasts Bound in Leather [*Expanded Edition*]

by Eric Stanton

Eric Stanton's masterpiece presented in a way never seen before — in a large, reader friendly edition tailored to underscore the unique brilliance of the art.

What happens when gentleman caller Ving Walk (Irving Klaw spelled backward) meets the Roberts: The Addams Family of extreme figure training and bondage play?

Falling somewhere between Jean Cocteau's The Blood of a Poet, Luis Buñuel's Un Chien Andalou, and David Lynch's Eraserhead, this "bizarre" romantic comedy features newly restored artwork, plus a reconstructed text that pulls from the original 1953 edition as well as the 1961 adaption with some revisions for a modern audience.

Irving Klaw's and Eric Stanton's finest hour finally presented with the respect it deserves. Includes additional material on the artist and author, variations of artwork, and more!

[Matthew · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mesmerizing drawings paired with a rough narrative that has some amusing moments but is ultimately nonsense. But the story isn't the main point so much as the drawings it inspires. The willing helplessness of the subjects lends them an unusual vulnerability though the descriptions of the ties and knots border on tedium. The art is the real prize, bizarre and influential. Nice job on the restoration of this iconic work.

Stanton's art is amazing and the storyline produced some quite imaginative illustrations.
