No one has described fantasies of women punishing, humiliating, and hurting men like Eric Stanton did. His voluptuous vixens understand their own appeal and use provocative display of their sexy bodies as one in an arsenal of tools to torment their prey. While their furies are often justified by male misbehavior, his sneering, superior divas often seem to enjoy inventing new schemes to teach men lessons they won’t forget. Creating fierce beauties who derive pleasure when imposing their severe justice, he crafted authentic sadists.

The Governess
With his two unruly sons, J. Harvey Hodges has a troubled household. Continuously intoxicated, Gordon has designs on his pretty, young step-mother, Renee. The younger son, James, is a foul-mouthed teenager who breaks all the rules.

He employs Ms. Temple Innis to restore decorum to his home. More a professional disciplinarian than a tutor, she spanks the value of proper conduct into James within hours of her arrival. The next day, Ms. Innis binds Gordon with thin cord during his drunken slumber. She pinches him intimately, then uses him for her pleasure most improperly.


The governess makes so much noise that Renee arrives to investigate. They decide to collaborate on Gordon’s proper education, and give James an extra helping of indignity in the process. In the last scene, both lovely ladies spank Gordon with heavy belts.


The title character is not the articulate heroine of Mr. Glassco’s novel [see product #452], who carefully measures punishments and rewards to accomplish reformation and training. Mr. Stanton’s governess looses both her temper and self-restraint, meting out penalties that appear to be aimed more at vicious revenge than rehabilitation. The bedroom cruelty builds momentum that draws Renee into a mean torrent of extremes.


The first 10 pages of the 48-page volume was done in dark tempera. The remainder of the booklet shows excellent work by the Maestro in pencil, his preferred medium. There, he renders shapely female forms in a sinister spectrum of stormy moods. The story is drawn as a comic without bordered panels in rows, but with narrative placed above or within pictures, and dialogue shown in balloons. A Mr. Cleve is credited with the prose, and, indeed, the writing here is better than most Stanton booklets.


Presented both as a digital replica and optimized ebook, the dual formats ensure that all that the enjoyable content in the Governess booklet is conveniently accessible in the digital iterations. The ebooks are based on new scans of the original publication.

Hit Lady
A professional hit lady, Jill is hired by the Don to teach Tony the error of his ways. Using a hypnotic jewel, she persuades Tony’s girlfriend Lynn to enjoy some girl/girl affection. When Tony returns home, Jill does a lot of hitting and spanking.

Mr. Stanton’s pencil draws magic in these pictures, rendering gorgeous female curves and faces. Apparently, this story was originally printed on about 20 pages, but several pages have multiple scenes. For the optimized ebook, every scene is placed on a separate page.

The ebook is derived from fair scans of poorly manufactured pages. That is, the original publication was probably produced on an electrostatic copier. This reproduction mechanism yields unpleasant dot patterns in pictures when scanned.

The graininess/pixelation on the female characters has been replaced by smooth shading and contour forms. This preserves Mr. Stanton’s shapes but adds pleasant tone and shadow to bodies. Other parts of the pictures have not been adjusted and show varied levels of graininess. Some may actually prefer this repair technique to original scans.

As Hit Lady is short and does not consist of original scans, it will not be sold on this site. A lot of work went into bringing it to its current level of clarity. It’s offered as a bonus for those who buy The Governess.
