Never before published in book form, this collection showcases Irving Klaw’s adaptation of John Willie’s masterpiece, Gwendoline and “The Missing Princess,” in which Klaw also called upon the artistry of Eric Stanton. Initially offered to mail-order subscribers between 1951 and 1952, the original serial quickly captivated a devoted following. Recognizing its growing appeal, Willie sold the complete artwork to Klaw, who reimagined and distributed it to a broader audience.

Included here are Gwendoline and “The Missing Princess,” retitled New Adventures of Sweet Gwendoline by Klaw, alongside rare art and photographs by John Willie. Among these are never-before-seen images of his wife and muse, Holly Anna Faram, offering an intimate glimpse into the artist’s world. Also featured is Stanton’s underappreciated black-comedy classic, Fifi Chastises Her Maids!, completed in 1958 for Klaw, making this collection a must-have for fans of subversive art and storytelling.

For those eager to explore further, this book pairs perfectly with the 497-page illustrated biography JOHN WILLIE: The Story of John Alexander Scott Coutts, available now on Amazon. Together, they provide an unparalleled look into one of mid-century underground art’s most influential figures.
