Today we kick off a new illustration series. Longtime Erotic Mad Science contributor Lucy Fidelis has created a very pretty series imagining an amorous encounter between Brenda (a character who first appears in Beware the Asylum) and gel girl Pamela Rei. The result certainly please me, and I hope they will please you as well.

It is a privilege and a pleasure to be able to announce the Erosarts, who has tirelessly illustrated the Tales of Gnosis College for almost a decade now, has recently put out some of his own work under the title imMATURE Comics, issue #5. There two remarkable new stories here, super-heavy on babes, bondage, and outright science fiction. To tease the first, “The Secretary,” a voluptuous young woman answers a want-ad for a secretarial position. Her rather unusual-looking employers subject her to a rather unusual job interview.
If you’re a reader of this site, I’ll be you want to see what happens next! Erosarts has graciously agreed to make this page available in high resolution: click to load or right-click to download.
The comic, which includes this story and two others, is available at DriveThruComics.com. It appears to be the site’s policy to tuck adult material behind a membership wall (membership by itself doesn’t cost anything). If you want to get to the landing page for this comic, you need to register at DriveThruComics.com, log in, click on the “Account” tab on the top of the page, click on “My Account Settings” down the page, and then check the “Adult” box, and then (and apparently only then) you can use use this link to get to the landing and order page for the comic.

Single panel: Eliza, in full pin-up mode, sits naked on the railing facing out to sea. She’s turned her head around and is smiling and waving at the men.
CAPTION – PSEUDO-NARRATION (1): There doesn’t seem to be much hesitation in this moment of truth.
Translation (1): Non sembra esserci molta esitazione in questo momento di verità.
SFX – STILL MORE MALE VOCAL EXCITEMENT (2): Cheers, whistles, and applause.
Thrilling Wonder Stories was still going strong in October 1949, as evidenced by this Earle Bergey cover. Strangely, though, much of its art was uncredited, at least according to this issue’s entry at the Internet Speculative Fiction Database. That’s a pity, since I would enjoy knowing who did this illustration for “Lure of Polaris” by Wallace West (1900-1980).

Panel 1: View down the deck. A bunch of men, sailors and science guys, are lined up a few feet from the rail, leaving a path between themselves and the rail for Eliza to walk along. Eliza is emerging up onto deck from a gangway to below decks, just coming into view in the panel.
Panel 2: Same view as in Panel 1, Eliza walking down the deck toward the viewer of the panel, past the lined-up men, still a bit distant from the P.O.V. of the viewer.
Panel 3: Eliza, a bit closer to thew viewer of the Panel, in the act of lifting off her cotton shirt (which, at the discretion of the artist, can read GNOSIS COLLEGE), exposing her breasts. This elicits a reaction of mounting excitement from the men lined up. The lifting-off of Eliza’s shirt shows that she wasn’t wearing any bra.
SFX – EXCITEMENT AMONG THE CREW (1): …murmuring…
Translation (1): …mormorio…
Panel 4: Eliza, now quite close to the viewer of the panel, in the act of whipping off her skirt, which reveals that she wasn’t wearing any panties either. The men around her are reacting quite excited by now.
SFX – MORE MALE VOCAL EXCITEMENT (2): OH YEAH OH YEAH BABY OH AWESOME OH YEAH!
Translation (2): OH SÌ OH SÌ RAGAZZA OH INCREDIBILE OH SÌ!
The editors of this April 1948 edition (presumably the Canadian one, which appears to be the same as the U.S. one) may not have had the spectacular luck they would come to have in October, but they still did well, beginning with the cool cover painting above by Earle Bergey.
(Aside: is anyone here old enough to remember flashcubes? Those little shiny plastic disposable cubes you could attach to your camera to generate flashes for home photography? That’s what these weirdos cubic helmets immediately reminded me of.)
Ever-available Virgil Finlay was available for the promoted cover story, “The Faceless Men,” itself penned by the tireless pulp producer Arthur Leo Zagat (1896-1949).
