Gene Bilbrew (1923 - 1974) was the first black career fetish artist in history. Starting in the mid-1950s, he was among the most prolific illustrators of fetish-oriented pulp book covers. In addition to signing his work under his own name, he produced art under a range of pseudonyms, including ENEG ("Gene" spelled backwards), Van Rod, and Bondy.  Information on the life and work of Bilbrew is scant at best. For that reason, there is not a lot of information here but it is most likely more than one would find elsewhere. It takes ony about 15 minutes to read the entire text of this book. It takes much longer to view and appreciate the amazing amount of Bibrew illustrations.
