Series History
"Bondage Fairies" was first published in Japan by Kubo Shoten in February 1990 under the title Insect Hunter (インセクト・ハンター), a reference to Pamila and Pfil's role as police officers in the forest. The title was changed in April 1993. The first English translation in the United States used the title "Bondage Fairies" and was issued by Antarctic Press under their Venus Press imprint in 1994-5.
In the United States, Eros Comix subsequently published four multi-volume series of Bondage Fairies:
- The Original Bondage Fairies (Nos. 1-11, 1998–1999);
- The New Bondage Fairies (Nos. 1-16, 1996–1998);
- The New Bondage Fairies: Fairie Fetish (Nos. 1-8, 1998); and
- Bondage Fairies Extreme (Nos. 1-15, 1999–2003), with translations by Toren Smith and Studio Proteus.
Translations also have been made into Swedish (Epix Förlag), German (BD erotix), French (Bdérogène), and Italian (E.F. edizioni). A further short story was published by Kubo Shoten in Kondom's 2005 short story collection Hontō wa Eroi Otogi Banashi ("Truly an erotic fairy tale"). In 2006, a collection of short stories entitled Cruel Sisters was published in Japan containing "The Original Bondage Fairies" and seven re-edited short stories from "Fairy Fetish".

Famous quotes containing the words series and/or history:
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
