This is part of the “After Dark” auction, which also includes an International Mr. Leather 1986 poster with a drawing by Etienne, some Tom of Finland artwork, a Physique Pictorial collection, as well as works by the artist Bill Schmeling aka “The Hun,” the photographer Jim French, and many others.

Rick Castro’s The Bondage Book

Here are some smartphone pics I took yesterday at an exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum showing covers of Rick Castro’s “The Bondage Book” as well as a photograph:

Does anybody remember The Bondage Book? Looks like there were four issues in all.

These are on display until the end of March 2024 at the Brooklyn Museum, as part of a special exhibit titled “Copy Machine Manifestos: Artists Who Make Zines.” There was lots of alternate music-related content, as well as queer content.
