Fastner & Larson have been putting pen to paper and creating some of the most beautiful yet amusing women for some time and the pair are back in "Rich Larson's Bed & Bondage." As the title aptly suggests, Larson is putting his signature hotties in a variety of harrowing situations. In addition to the pin-up pages, there is also a six page strip called "Crule and Unusual." The work includes sketches and finished pieces as well as those gorgeous full-color covers.

In Big Top of Horror, a mean old circus Ringmaster and his henchmen clowns have a couple of buxom babes tied up and ready to become the latest show attraction. Little Angels is shown both in sketch and finished painting form as two lingerie-clad beauties find themselves at the mercy of a pair of cute, but devious little cherubs. A damsel in utter distress is left tied to a post just outside the abode of a troll in Doorstep Delivery.

The cover featuring that very buxom blond being tied to the bedposts by a quarter of little devils is called The Devil's Bed and is one of my favorite pieces in the entire book. The strip tells the story of Mr. Crule who makes Ebenezer Scrooge look like Santa Claus. A thoroughly rich and evil cyst of a man who controls everyone and everything in town. But Mr. Crule is about to get his just rewards from his Mistress Miss Harde.

Rich Larson's Bed & Bondage is another delight for his fans and fans of bondage, pin-up, or good girl art and we can all thank SQP for delivering it to us!

While no one can possibly deny Rich Larson's great skill at illustration, and with the admission that I wish I could draw with 1/100th of his talent, I can regretfully not give this book a good recommendation. The reason is both simple, and obscure. His artwork has always struck an odd chord with me, and while looking through this book, my unease solidified while reading his rather gruesome 6-page story. His work has no soul. It is technically accurate and extraordinary proficient, but lacks any real feeling. Even his more playful and fun illustrations, as in the cover, are somehow antiseptic. No fear, or desire, or amusement in his victim's expressions. The bondage is at times laughable, and is neither convincing, nor, lacking that, amusing. The book is almost all sketch work, and has the feel of someone who is posing models, rather than trying to be entertaining. Even the parts where he wants to be scary, it comes across as, well, two dimensional. Rich Larson is an extremely talented artist, who I hope finds a degree of passion in his future projects.
