These stories are light years beyond the quality of prewar Tijuana bibles (early American pornographic comic parodies, almost exclusively hardcore), much less their sad postwar successors, and, like most kink porn from before the 1960s published in the U.S., is almost exclusively softcore, primarily without nudes, in an attempt to circumvent obscenity statutes. The work itself was almost shockingly engaging-this bondage pornographer wrote genuinely amusing and entertaining parodies of movie serial action-as well as being incredibly well delineated. This is a truly astounding volume of illicit published material from less than a century ago that barely still exists in its original forms, though partial (often shoddy or pirated) editions of the most popular comics abound, and as such gets an extra star just for being such a great edition of John Willie's art.
