The Best of Satellite Publishing Co. unveils over 200
pages of artwork by Eric Stanton and Gene Bilbrew—much of it unseen for over
six decades. This collection presents the illustrated stories Have
Leather…Will Fashion (1961), How to Tame a Roommate (1961), The
Captive (1961), and Vixen's Vendetta (1961/62), alongside Stanton
and Bilbrew art from seminal titles such as Hampered Hercules, Suzanne's
Punishment School, Servant Problems, and Bound magazine.
Launched in 1961, Satellite Publishing Co. emerged from the underground world
of Times Square bookstores to become a defining force in fetish illustration.
This volume captures the explosive two-year collaboration between Stanton and
Bilbrew— two artists whose distinctive styles shaped an entire genre. Despite
FBI scrutiny, poor sales, and creative tensions that briefly separated the
partners, these works represent a pivotal moment when fetish art transitioned
from John Willie's Bizarre magazine toward a bolder, more narrative-driven
aesthetic. Preserved here is a testament to a fleeting, audacious moment in
underground publishing—frozen in time before the advent of hardcore pornography
reshaped the industry forever.
