John Willie was a comic book artist who was part of the underground comic movement in the 1960s and 70s. He created stories about women who were strong and empowered characters, usually in sexual or bondage scenes. His stories were filled with bondage, discipline, and sadomasochism, often involving curvy women in bondage attire. He also wrote stories about larger-than-life superheroes and science fiction, often with strong female leads. He drew his comic books in a very detailed and colorful style, and often hid messages in his illustrations. His comics helped to influence the neo-burlesque movement, which began in the late 1990s.
