Bill Ward Gag Pinup Cartoons African American Duke Magazine 1957 #2

By Artsuggest on | From vintagesleaze.blogspot.com
In 1957, Bill Ward, master of the risque gag comic did a series of drawings for Duke Magazine, a short-lived upscale magazine aimed at the African-American market. Duke was the creation of Dan Burley, profiled HERE. Ward drew his gags exactly as he did for dozens of men's magazines for the dominant Caucasian market, but the "Black Bills" were different. Not much different, as the over-developed women he drew differed only by the use of a slightly darker color shade, but his contribution was noteworthy and noble nonetheless.

Drawn under the pseudonym "McCartney" a few are shown here from the October 1957 issue of Duke. Other work for the magazine is shown HERE.
