Description

Cartoonist Bill Ward is known for his risqu� comic-strip illustrations of pinups and �good girls� that catered to the imaginations of heterosexual male audiences during the so-called golden age of American comics of the 1930s�50s. Ward attended Pratt Institute and soon after began working for the influential comic book publishing house Quality Comics. While serving in the army during World War II, Ward was commissioned to create a comic strip for the base newspaper to boost morale. The statuesque blond he created later evolved into Torchy, an icon of the Good Girl Art genre and one of the few overtly sexy characters in mainstream comics. Ward�s later Cont� crayon drawings appeared in men�s magazines such as Juggs and Leg Show from the 1950s to the �70s.

Ward alway saved the finest textures for the ladies nylon stockings and glossy patent leather of the long gloves. He drills it into guy's heads how hot this topless lady is.
