BONDAGE ENTHUSIASTS BOUND IN LEATHER
Volume One - The Restored Edition
The classic fetish bondage book now restored, complete with the original 35 illustrations and mail-order fetish ephemera inserts, a historical introduction by Dante Remy, and printed on archival paper with glossy collectible cover.
New York, 1961. In the velvet darkness of a Broadway theater, a chance encounter ignites a journey into the most elegant and extreme fetish world ever drawn by the master himself, Eric Stanton.
When a sophisticated stranger in clinging black satin and sky-high kid-leather gloves leans close and finishes the sketch a man has begun in the hopes of meeting her, a turn of events unfolds that will lead him down a path of depraved fetish and kink. She is Vicki Roberts: wife, mother, and devoted slave to the strictest corsets, tallest heels, and cruelest bondage. Before the final curtain falls she invites him home... where he discovers her daughter Nicki is even more insatiable, and their French maid Fifi is already locked away in a trunk as punishment.
What follows is Eric Stanton at the absolute peak of his powers: gleaming single-sleeve sheaths that crush elbows together, thigh-high boots laced so savagely they force every step onto tiptoe, waist-cinching corsets that take a woman's breath away, and ritualized scenes of discipline so theatrical and merciless they still leave readers breathless sixty years later.
This is Stanton's masterpiece of mid-century fetish elegance-sophisticated, unapologetic, and dripping with the glossy, high-contrast ink that made him the undisputed king of underground bondage art. This is Erosetti Press's Restored Edition, featuring all 35 original illustrations, printed on premium archival paper with a glossy collectible cover.
Step into Stanton's private kingdom. Once you enter... you may never want to leave.

Eric Stanton (1926-1999) was born Ernest Stanzoni Jr. in Brooklyn, New York on September 30, 1926. By age twelve he was tracing comic-book heroines such as Wonder Woman and Sheena, and at fifteen he was already syndicating his own military gag strip, Tin Hats. After Navy service in World War II he apprenticed with cartoonist Gordon "Boody" Rogers and later shared a studio with Steve Ditko. In the late 1940s Irving Klaw hired him to illustrate mail-order fetish serials; Stanton quickly moved from "fighting femmes" to the sophisticated, high-heeled, corseted world of theatrical bondage and female dominance that became his signature. His landmark 1961 trilogy Bondage Enthusiasts Bound in Leather remains a high point of mid-century fetish art. Later he self-published the long-running Stantoons series, selling directly to collectors. His steely-eyed dominatrixes influenced Madonna's early look, earned praise from painter Allen Jones, and appeared on hundreds of paperback covers. Stanton died on March 17, 1999, at age 72, recognized today as the father of modern fetish illustration. Dante Remy is an internationally based writer, editor, and producer. His creative work explores the duality of nature and science, love and loss, beauty and the macabre, the chaste and the erotic.

Review :
"Eric Stanton didn't just illustrate fetish - he defined its golden age. His 1961 masterpiece Bondage Enthusiasts Bound in Leather stands at the absolute peak of his powers: sophisticated, theatrical, and mercilessly elegant. No other artist so perfectly captured the glossy, high-contrast world of sky-high heels, crushing corsets, and ritualized female dominance. A true underground legend whose influence still echoes through fashion, pop culture, and modern fetish art today." -Introduction-Dante Remy, Erosetti Press
