Pin-Up Cartoons

A single-issue, one-shot comic from Fox Publications in 1947, Pin-Up Cartoons collects a series of glamour illustrations and risqué gag cartoons typical of the post-war era. While a minor, ephemeral release from a publisher known for genre comics, it captures the popular pin-up style of the period. The issue is most notable for its cover and interior art by Bill Ward, whose work on "Torchy" defined the Fox pin-up house style. It remains a concise artifact of mid-century American comic art and humor.
