Description

The 21st issue of his groundbreaking magazine, which Coutts (AKA John Willie) wrote, illustrated, and edited primarily himself. Published towards the end of the Bizarre run — when the magazine was arguably at its creative and cultural peak — Bizarre catered to a niche audience interested in fetishism, BDSM, and alternative lifestyles, blending provocative content with a playful, artistic flair.

Like other issues, No. 21 featured correspondence, articles, stories, and illustrations / John Willie photography  that explored themes such as corsetry, bondage, high heels, leather, and dominance-submission dynamics. By the time Issue No. 21 was published, Bizarre had become a key publication in the underground fetish community, pushing boundaries in an era of conservative sexual mores. The magazine was subversive yet carefully avoided outright obscenity to navigate censorship laws.

Bizarre represents John Willie’s pioneering role in bringing fetish culture into the open. The issue, like the entire series, combined artistic merit with daring content, creating a publication that remains influential in the realms of erotica, fetishism, and visual art.
