Indeed.
Foster's subtitle for Prince Valiant was "In the Days Of King Arthur," not "Gay Boys in Bondage," but sometimes you had to wonder.

OKAY it's not really meant to be here but I think this sort of reminded me of the two previous posts...in regards to her apparel.

Here’s a brief detour featuring a mostly naked, really cut crucified dude. No, not Jesus, but Prince Valiant.
I’ve wondered in recent years if the unquestionably great Hal Foster had a thing for homoerotic BDSM. Whatever the case, here Val is unquestionably gnashing.
You should see the shit they sold in Spain !! I came across some VERY perverse BDSM comics whilst on holiday some 20-odd years ago !! Whew that stuff was intense !! And it was on public display !!I think those old time illustrators got away with quite a lot. I remember young people's books when I was growing up that showed quite a lot of "innocent" flesh in the illustrated stories, in hindsight there was more than a hint of the homo erotic about them. And then those books and TV shows that enjoyed semi clad ladies in peril. A lot flew just under the radar.
To indulge is stereotyping, wasn't Robert E Howard of Conan fame a bodybuilding fan who lived with his mother?
ever so slightly off topic,but the original Conan the Barbarian film (Arnie's version) was a really hot movie with a decent crux and quite a bit of girl nudity....Apparently so. And blew out his brains at 30 as she lay dying.
I never bothered to research Howad's life, and am now disquieted I did.

He seems to have been a balls-out brilliant writer. I wonder how he would have developed if he’s given himself another 30 or 40 years?
