Russian of origin, Eric Stanton was born in New York. He studied at the School of Visual Arts and made his debut as an illustrator and comic artist in 1947 with Irwing Klaw, a publisher of sadomasochistic paraphernalia. Proving himself a master of the bondage genre, Stanton created an impressive number of stories, such as 'The Nightmares of Diana', 'Marie's Extraordinary Adventure' and 'Phyllis in Danger'. At the same time he worked for magazine La Revue Érotique, using pseudonyms like Savage and John Bee. In the early 1960s, he became an independent illustrator, often working for rich clients who ordered his work for private use. His work has been published in numerous European magazines, like Bédé X, Blue and Kiss Comix.
