Eugene (sometimes Eneg) was a singer in the Basin Street Boys, worked at the Los Angeles Sentinel (newspaper), created the first black superhero "The Bronze Bomber," and later overdosed in an adult bookstore. Early work seen in Irving Klaw's Nutrix digests, later work being paintings of the seedy characters of his daily routine for Ed Mishkin and Leonard Burtman paperbacks. His work is steadily recognizable and his precedence in Black comics and underground art holds fast. Bilbrew's finals works (1973) decorate several Star Distributor titles, many of less than mentionable themes paraded as "case studies."
