Early memories

Hello, I was planning on talking a bit more about bondage in main stream comics, super hero comics in special. But then, when I was just musing about it, I was all of a sudden struck by something more specific, more personal also.
One step back though, first. Yes there is a lot of bondage to be found in super hero comics, sometimes sloppy and uninteresting, more often somewhat elaborate, because you can't tie most super heroes down with simple rope: you have to have special equipment to neutralize their powers too. Sadly, that doesn't guarantee more interesting bondage per see, just bigger manacles, more tubing etc. Every once in a while you come across a real gem, like this one from Ed Benes.
But more often, it stays simple and not all that interesting, and I find myself reading all these wonderful comics, thoroughly enjoying them, but shaking my head, looking at all the missed opportunities.
While looking through some of my own stacks, I came across some really old ones, and then it hit me. I saw a page with a slight bondage theme in it, and it brought me back, back a whole lot of years.

Now, about half a year ago, Bert and I parted ways, all in good spirit. So now the drive to make these pages every six weeks or so, disappeared. I went without making comic pages for a while, because they really form the most demanding part of my work. But after some time, I started to miss it, and I started to think about a subject, maybe for a longer story, an e-book album perhaps. And then I remembered one album which I had done in the past; Doctor Alpha, in which my favorite super heroines, the Amazon Army had played a role. At first, I thought I might follow up on that, but now I have decided to try my hand on a completely new story, that really features just those ladies and their enemies.
