• Sorority Girls - two ebook versions

In the 34 panels that comprise Sorority Girls, Gene Bilbrew, signing as Eneg, focused his comic strip talent on fetish illustration. The set is less a narrative-based serial than a series of scenes. In this early work, Mr. Bilbrew reveals a deep appreciation for appealing female forms and creates figures that epitomize a youthful, womanly ideal.

All the lovelies in these ink drawings are as pretty as can be, with long legs and alluring curves. Here his characters are college-age sorority sisters who spend their days initiating newbies while dressed in tight sweaters, short skirts, stockings, garter belts, panties, bras, and high-heeled shoes.

The face of one of the senior sisters seems drawn to suggest the radiant countenance of Betty Page, the popular pinup icon. As both Mr. Bilbrew and Ms. Page repeatedly contracted with Mr. Klaw during the 1950s, one might infer that there was a bit of deliberate cross-promotion in the likeness.

Originally sold by mail order, photographic enlargement prints were the cost-effective duplication option for short runs prior to the invention of electrostatic copy technology. The chemical-based photo printing method resulted in inconsistent tonality in the small reproductions.

Two Ebook Versions of Sorority Girls

Each of the 34 episodes show two or more characters in various room settings in the sorority house. The digital replica ebook presents each panel complete on a separate ebook page. The optimized ebook disassembles the scenes, placing characters on separate pages, enlarging attractive details to fill the screen on wide pages that match the aspect ratio of monitors. The text that narrates the panels at the top has been removed in the optimized version to use the complete height of the available rectangle for display of the characters. The deconstruction involves enlargement, repetition and rotation of the virtuoso graphics of the original 34 panels and opens them to careful scrutiny on 90 ebook pages. This technique of ebook presentation intends to reduce the need for zooming and scrolling.

• Sleuth's Harrowing Plight – one ebook

Unlike most of the material that fills Bizarre Comix volumes, Harrowing Plight did not originate as photo prints but was first published as a Nutrix booklet in 1960. In the other Jim comics we've shown, the settings were mostly palatial and the characters royal. This work has a contemporary urban setting with pictures that illustrate a story.

The narrative by John T. Quill tells of a woman who investigates the death of her sister, a model. To do so, she works for her sister's employers, gets tangled in their web, and finally gets to the bottom of the mystery. Fifteen Jim illustrations show attractive women in extremely high-heeled footwear and stockings.

The Nutrix text was reset for the Bizarre Comix version and the ebook is a conventional presentation of that publication, page for page. Neither the Bizarre Comix version nor the ebook version contain the photographs that were included in the 1960 Nutrix version.

Bizarre Comix, Volume 8, was recently offered on ebay (110146470195) for a buy-it-now price of $37.50.

• Prisoners of the Inquisition – one ebook, optimized

In 1955, Mr. Klaw advertised the original set of photo prints for $14. Little is known about Mario, who gave his female characters expressive faces with dramatic make-up and contemporary hair styles. He does a good job of inking pictures of shapely women in tight-fitting garments. Here, he is more of an illustrator than comic artist, and his care with details discloses the skill of an experienced professional.

Two lovely shipwreck survivors are mistaken for saboteurs by armada guards. Eventually, the innocents escape. As though they were pirates, most of the curvaceous characters wear clothing with torn hems and boots with cuffs, but some drawings show modern, high-heeled footwear.

Most of the 30 episodes of this comic serial have two illustrations and two blocks of text. In the optimized ebook, the text is placed on the page that precedes the panel it describes. The optimized ebook disassembles the scenes, placing characters on separate pages, enlarging attractive details to fill the screen on wide pages that match the aspect ratio of monitors. The deconstruction involves enlargement, repetition and rotation of the graphic constituents of the original 60 panels and opens them to careful scrutiny on 75 ebook pages (a total that does not include the 55 pages of text). This technique of ebook presentation intends to reduce the need for zooming and scrolling.
