The covers to Wonder Woman comics are notorious for their bondage images. Wonder Woman is almost always tied up and facing some menace. This type of comic book cover is a sub-genre for collectors. It may be the damsel in distress that is the more common theme; but it is not very difficult to also find a male character bound and in peril on a comic book cover. 
Being trapped and in danger is a standard theme for a comic book cover. I had never even thought about the bondage label until a few years ago, when I noticed that the Overstreet Guide makes a point to note these covers in their price guide listings. Sometimes the definition of bondage is a bit loose and just being confined against one's will. I also notice that the Overstreet Guide no longer makes that special note about bondage.
