La Princesse Elaine

A single, striking 1977 issue from Les Humanoïdes Associés, La Princesse Elaine is a European comic largely remembered for its moody, fetishistic artwork by Gene Bilbrew (credited as Eneg). The series presents a dark fairy tale of a captive princess, rendered in the artist's distinctive, stylized linework that blends elegance with a shadowy, erotic undercurrent. Though brief, the issue stands as a notable artifact of Bilbrew's cult-favorite illustration work within the science-fiction and fantasy comics of the era.
