The late Mr. Bilbrew was one of the most prolific and vivid fetish artists of the past century. He illustrated the cover of almost every issue of Exotique magazine from 1955 to 1959 and provided much of its art. He used several names to sign his work, including J. Bondy, Van Rod, Nan Gilbert and Eneg. The last panel of Satan in High Heels shows, "Illustrated by Eneg" even though the first panel is signed "Gene Bilbrew".

The story expresses many of Eneg's favorite themes: dominant femininity, transvestitism, fetishism, subterfuge. All line art, the penmanship is superb with fine details and a beautiful, devious diva. Each of the 32 pages of the story has been arranged on a separate ebook page.

The comic serial was published in at least four different iterations. A historical note in the ebook recounts the publishing history of this work. I found this serial in four consecutive issues of High Heels magazine from 1969 and 1970. This was a Selbee/Burtman publication.

Mr. Burtman produced a feature film titled Satan in High Heels in 1962 and he is listed in the credits as L. Burton. This story has no similarity to the plot of the film with the same name.
