Bizarre Life, Volume 1, Number 3
Mr. Burtman didn't always have the cash to pay for the printing of magazine content he developed, and he often sold "publication packages" to other publishers, such as Unique, Health Knowledge, Bilife Publications, Bizincorp and Consolidated. For these, he received a fee and copies, which he, in turn, sold to raise cash for other publishing projects. Some of these company names may have been in partnership with Toronto-based Gordon McCausland, who reprinted some of Mr. Burtman’s Epic Publishing tomes in the late 1960s.

In making ebooks out of BL 3, I developed an appreciation for its mix of subjects, including leather, rubber, spanking, sadism, and forced feminization. It pursued an international scope with clippings from European periodicals. Also, the pictorial about Monique von Cleef, a professional dominatrix whose New Jersey establishment was shut down by police in 1967, shows pages from newspapers and magazines that exploited her notoriety.

Topless nightclub dancers created a sensation in the 1960s, and the pictorial of Rosie Kane shows her showing off on stage. Teri Martine, Enid Wynn, Teri Burnett (Atom Age), Lois Hirsch and Ms. Von Cleef display their shapely charms in all kinds of tight leather, patent and rubber garments, including jumpsuits, dresses, buckled waist-cinchers, knee-high boots, thigh-high boots and a gas mask.

Three works of fiction span an assortment of lifestyle interests. The first episode of “Miss Marchant’s Diary” is a lengthy piece that describes how painful spankings with cane and strap enforce discipline in a girls’ school. Part One of “A Call to Skirts” is a first-person narrative about a young man who enjoys the look and feel of feminine attire and introduces fetish-wear to his sister. The story is illustrated by a set of photographs, only roughly related to the text.


Introduced by a fine Gene Bilbrew illustration, “Teacher’s Pet” tells of how a sexy high school instructor uses a hickory stick against rubber pants to teach lessons to her errant students. Carlson Wade’s short article, “Love, Pain and Your Emotions” features two publicity photos from the The Balcony, a feature film.

Classic line art of Eric Stanton is used throughout as iconic clip art to fill empty space on text pages. Seven pages are filled with multiple panels of Mr. Stanton’s Sweeter Gwen comic serial. Three pages present “The Best of Gene Bilbrew” and his art is also seen as filler elsewhere. Letters from readers are accompanied by snapshots of pretty women in all sorts of fetish garb.

Every word and picture in the 100-page Bizarre Life, 3, is included in the digital replica ebook (plus other material, see below). The sequence of pages has been preserved in the ebook. Some page layouts were revised to obtain a better presentation of the images, reducing empty margins and eliminating superfluous ornament. The tonality of photographs was adjusted, developing clearer images than seen in the original magazine. The ebook will be especially enjoyable for those who are interested in rubber and leather attire. Lots to read, too.

Bizarre Life, Volume 1, Number 5
[Some of the femdom content of BL 5 was included in the Bizarre Life Remix anthology. None of the content that’s included in this products has appeared in any other ebook, except for Eric Stanton’s Sweeter Gwen comic.]

A customer wrote asking if I knew of the short story “Clothes Make the Man.” After a search, I found that piece in BL 5 among other items of interest.

A few selections from BL 5 supplement the content of theBL 3 digital replica and optimized ebooks. A nice pictorial of cover diva Helena Jackman shows her in many leather and patent costumes. Ms. Jackman models two-tone, lace-up, knee-high boots, a leather leotard, gaucho hat, leather jumpsuit and a feline mask.

One outfit consists of sheer stockings, pumps and a patent corset. She appears holding a long whip and a spiked collar with leash attached. This statuesque beauty presents herself as a fetish domme, brimming with attitude.

A married couple wrote “The Rise of Rubber,” a first-person account of their introduction to the pleasures of wearing rubber attire. Their article is accompanied by small photographs of themselves, dressed in rubber. This is followed by a pictorial of Wendy Russell, modeling two rubber outfits from Atom Age of London.

Finally, the requested short story, by Gene Aldrich. Louie, a long-haired “hippy”, shaves his beard and puts on his sister’s stockings, garter belt, mini-skirt, and make-up, becoming Louise. Introduced by a fine Bilbrew illustration.

Bizarre Life 3 + bonus material from BL 5,
optimized for ebook viewing

The optimized ebook is a 74 mb album of diverse fetish images. More than 220 pages brim with photographs and illustrations of lovely models in leather, rubber, boots and heels. Photographs and illustrations are placed one to each wide ebook page, filling the monitor screen from top to bottom. When possible, enlargements of fetish details such as boots are placed beside the complete figure or on the following page.

The fabulous female forms of Mr. Stanton’s Sweeter Gwen have never been shown to better advantage, with each panel filling the screen on its own page. Some of the smallest homemade snapshots are a bit grainy in both the original and the ebook, but the good news here is that, in the optimized ebook, you can see them. Many of these photos were made by enthusiast couples, decades earlier, and their esoteric details express the longevity of fetish interests. There has never been a better mechanism for viewing the picture content of Bizarre Life than the optimized ebook.

Family Maid
This set of 30 illustrations with narrative and dialog continues the story of the bizarre household of Henry, Lorraine, Dolly, Lilly and Teddy. In this episode, we’re introduced to Bettina, a sturdy beauty who wears a maid’s uniform while she supervises the housework of Henry and his kin.

After Lorraine departs, Bettina uses Henry’s belt to spank him while he’s at the kitchen sink. Then, she turns her attention to Teddy, who she eventually wrestles to surrender, squeezing him with her nylon-clad thighs. She enjoys some face-sitting at the end of that.

Wearing a lace-trimmed corset, stockings and pumps, Lilly serves Dolly breakfast in bed. They get into a tussle and Dolly spanks Lilly with a hair brush, her hands bound with cuffs and chains.


This piece is remarkable for the prettiness of its female characters and their sexy costumes, ponytails, and hair ribbons. Faces and figures defined with precise lines and pencil shading offer lots to consider.


The optimized ebook presents the 30 original pages on 60 pages of pictures plus 20 pages that are only text. The text was separated from the drawings to allow the images to fill the optimized pages. As is typical of Mr. Stanton’s pencil work from his last period, the lines and shadows disclose textures that develop from the abrasion of lead against the rough surface of sketch paper. This is beautiful erotic art and the optimized ebook is the best way to enjoy it.
