Product Description
One of the most prolific pin-up artists of the 20th Century finally gets his due. No other pin-up cartoon artist over a 30-year period was as prolific or as omnipresent as Bill Wenzel. Virtually every humor and men’s magazine, ranging from Judge in the mid-’40s to Sex to Sexy in the ’60s and ’70s, boasted two, if not a dozen, of Wenzel’s pin-up cartoons.

    Bill Wenzel was so prolific that even I managed to snag a few of his original Humorama cartoons. This collection provides a nice sampling of his instantly recognizable work. However, the real value of this book is the biographical information supplied by his daughters.

    I would have liked to have seen more about his work for Playboy, more of the paperback covers, the men’s magazines, etc. However, maybe that is for another day.

    My only quibble with this book is the green highlights (or background) in many of the cartoons. It looks like a way to mimic the cheesy 2-color effect in those cheap Humorama magazines and detracts from the work. IF this is the way they were published, it would have served Bill W well to go black and white.
