Left: Closeup of a portion of the cover of Mystic Comics No. 8. Right: Unknown tumblr image of a bondage model.
So I found the image on the right on a tumblr bondage photo blog, sans attribution, as usual. It reminded me of something, and after a bit I figured out what: one of the photos from my section on the Competitors of Wonder Woman, specifically, this one, Mystic Comics No. 8, from March 1942.
Clearly, the photo was created well after the comic book cover was inked, yet the resemblance is too amazing not to be true! The only rational explanation is that the model somehow traveled to the past to model for the cover of Mystic Comics No. 8! It sounds fantastic, I know, but it wouldn't be the first time I've obtained evidence of this happening. And c'mon, SyFy Channel "woo" series have proven everything from the existence of ghosts to ancient astronauts to aliens to the plot to save Hitler's mustache from the atomic bomb with far weaker "evidence" than this very strong resemblance between a cover on an old comic book and an obscure bit of bondage porn!
P.S.: I did a Google reverse image search and was able to only turn up websites of the sort that do not attribute and which have viruses and similar stuff, as my anti-virus program bragged to me on one or more occasions that it had detected specific kinds of malware. So tell me if you know of the origin of this image, but tread carefully if you go looking for more like it.
P.P.S.: You will note I have yellow circles over the woman's breasts. They are wrapped in rope and are all purple. I know some people like that stuff, but I don't, and I'm not putting it on my blog.
The original cover of Mystic Comics No. 8 in all its BDSM porno glory. Remember, this was a children's comic, sold in newsstands and stores everywhere without plain brown wrappers or anything ... just like those Margaret Brundage magazine covers. My how things have changed. Can you imagine that on a modern comic book cover?
