Published at irregular intervals by Satellite Publishing Company (Stanley Malkin and Pat Martini) in the early 1960s, most of the nine Bound volumes featured illustrations by Gene Bilbrew. Satellite, Irving Klaw's Nutrix Publishing Company and Ed Mishkin's Mutrix Publishing Company all had business addresses on Montgomery Street in Jersey City, New Jersey during the 1960s. That didn't mean that they actually did any business there though. New buildings and a parking lot now replace the previous structures.


Bondage Syndicate
With its digest format, color cover and eight interior Gene Bilbrew pictures that illustrate typed fiction, Bondage Syndicate mirrors the format of Satellite's Bound series. The story reflects the popularity of contemporary delinquent, gang and mobster motifs, with references to rackets and extortion.
Big Sal was the head of the Warriors, the gang that ruled the streets. And Sal's girlfriend, alluring Rosalie, ruled Sal, and the Warriors' women's auxiliary, the Debutantes.

The back cover says this:
. . . there has never been a female dominatrix such as the leader of the female gang, the Debutantes, Rosalie. She is supreme in all her voluptuous physical possessions and contains a cleverness in so far as Bondage that you have never seen the likes of. This cruel female dominant individual wants complete power over all the gangs in her area, even the guys, and what she doesn't do to get it! Lovely, understanding Judy and Johnny are only two of the innocent absolutely mistreated people who are tormented by this insane woman's desire for power and lust. Yet, with Johnny strung before a flaming heat, literally roasting in his own flesh, and pitiful Judy's legs stretched out to eternity, the end emerges honestly and provokingly. Johnny . . . eventuates the scintillating release of the girls in bondage, the Minxes . . . . ”

The prose details figure-squeezing fetish attire and heights of sexy heels. The writer drenches his female characters with praise, almost in awe of proportions and appeal. Text describes handcuffs, ankle-cuffs, and chains that stretch limbs in painful restraint. Johnny is tied to a suspended ladder; Judy hangs by her hair.
Signing some of his pictures as Eneg, Mr. Bilbrew created superb illustrations of beauties in bondage and in charge. Mr. Bilbrew's pencil work here is as good as any he did, with luscious female shapes and faces rendered to emphasize glamorous femininity. He did an exceptionally conscientious job with high-heeled shoes and boots.

The ebook contains all content of the original. The eight Bilbrew illustrations appear complete, and fetish details are repeated, enlarged. As possible, illustrations in the ebook are located near related text, which substantially revises original placement. Contrast and brightness were adjusted to yield ebook images that show the abrasion of pencil lead against textured drawing paper.

All new scans. Pictures on 20+ pages.

Bondage Syndicate shows Mr. Bilbrew's fetish designs at the peak of his skill. He gave lovely characters dynamic symmetry, splendid curves, stylish hairdos and intense feelings. His tableaux match many scenes described in the story. The editors at Satellite carefully pursued quality with this obscure gem. Sixty years later, the ebook restores its unique luster.

Silken Suffering
While strolling her neighborhood, two guys drag Constance into an old car and take her to a nasty basement. There, three guys rip off her dress and start to bind her. Assailants bicker and fight. One runs off. He shows Josie to the hideout and tables are turned.

She disables Ricky and Gar. Before they can recover, Josie and Constance have the would-be captors under control. The ladies use bondage and belts to teach humiliating lessons to malicious males.

The 32-page booklet says nothing about publisher or place. Four illustrations show the unmistakable talent of Adolfo Marino Ruiz, who drew many comic serials for Mr. Klaw in the 1950s. Most of his serials show women abusing women, but this urban drama depicts women wreaking angry justice on men.

The ebook presents all content of the booklet in the sequence of the original.
