Mario (fetish artist)

Mario was a fetish artist who worked for a short period of time for Irving Klaw's Movie Star News company.

He drew two complete serials for Klaw -- Captives of the Scientists (1954) and Prisoners of the Inquisition (1955) -- and an unfinished piece called Rubber Queen's Captives (1957). All three stories were reprinted in their entirety in Belier Press's Bizarre Comix #6.

Unlike his contemporaries Eric Stanton and Gene Bilbrew, very little biographical information is known about Mario.
