The tide is coming in. No one around to save him. Will he escape in time?
Have always been fascinated with men tied and gagged in perilous situations. Love old movie serial scenes, Batman, Wild, Wild West, Hardy Boys. The hero tied and helpless as his doom slowly approaches, struggling to get free before the pendulum descends too low, the buzzsaw begins cutting the log he’s tied to, the train approaching where he’s tied to the tracks. Not into seeing him hurt or killed, just love the bondage and suspense of the situation. He always gets rescued or escapes in time, only to find himself in some other type of bondage peril.

The tide is coming in. No one around to save him. Will he escape in time?

Will he survive?
Hunks In Peril!
As A Kid, I Fell In Love With Old Detective Or Adventure Stories And Serials Where The Burly And Manly Hero Would Find Himself In Peril…Usually Tied Up, Gagged, And Counting Down The Minutes Before He Fell Into A Death Trap…Only To Be Rescued At The Last Second!
Boy, Did Those Stories Thrill Me!
Woof, Baby!
(Thanks To Joe Ty And Ned in Peril!)


From the cover of a Larry Townsend Book published in 1978. Drawing by Mack. A sexy version of “The Pit and the Pendulum.”
I’m reblogging my own post from a couple of years ago. I think it’s an amazing drawing.
Always thought this was a hot drawing.

Chairs bolted to the floor, little time left to escape before the candle releases the steel bolt.

About to be rocketed out of the opening in the cliff.

Gagged to prevent alerting the guards he’s the wrong man.
