Gene Bilbrew (1923 - 1974) was an American cartoonist and fetish artist. In addition to signing his work with his own name, he drew under a range of pseudonyms, including ENEG ("Gene" spelled backwards), Van Rod, and Bondy. Around 1950 Bilbrew became an assistant to the hugely influential comics artist Will Eisner, on The Spirit[1], where he took over the back-up series Clifford -- a little-kid humour page -- after its originator, Jules Feiffer, was drafted into the army.
