Not content with producing the definitive histories of great adventure comic strips, the great pulp magazine writers, comic books, and most recently his best selling encyclopedia of the comics, now Goulart has produced the final word on good girls in the comic books with Good Girl Art. The phrase "Good Girl Art," first coined in the mail order catalogs of the American Comic Book Company, didn’t come into wide use among fans, collectors and dealers until a few decades ago. However, the phenomenon existed almost from the beginning of the comic book business in the 1930s. The term refers not to magazines that contain drawings of virtuous girls but rather to those featuring good drawings of attractive women. These pretty girls are most often scantily, sparsely or provocatively clad. Good Girl Art chronicles, in fourteen image-filled chapters, every aspect of the genre. Good Girl Art looks at the Golden Age origins of scintillating women in comic books starting in the late 1930s, the bad girls of Victor Fox, the crime comics of Charles Biro, the exploits of the first Phantom Lady, Torchy, The Black Cat, and more. Good Girl Art explores the effects of the Wertham Crusade, its aftermath, and beyond, to the resurgence of good girls in the 1970s, all the way to the present. Good Girl Art covers the publishers, the comic books, and the artists. With insights that only Goulart can provide, readers are given an in-depth and behind-the-scenes history of good girl art in the comics. Good Girl Art also uses rarely seen original artwork by such legendary comic artists as Matt Baker, Lee Elias, Joe Chiodo, Dave Stevens, Brian Bolland, Frank Cho, and Adam Hughes, to name but a few. Not only is Good Girl Art informative and fun to read, it is truly a pleasure to look at with over 175 illustrations. Related Items.

Good Girl Art by Ron Goulart. Prolific author Ron Goulart wrote one of the best books. His history of comic strips in America THE FUNNIES is one of my all-time favorites. When I heard about his latest book, I thought that Goulart was wasting his time. GOOD GIRL ART is a large, over-sized glossy trade paperback full of good girl art from comic books of the 1930s through today. What's Good Girl Art? From the Hermes Press Web site: We're not talking about girls that are "good," we're talking girls that look good --designed to appeal to young men. One of my favorites is Madame Satan, a woman who hunted men down so she could deliver their souls to her master, the Devil (who else?)! Darn silly stuff. Ironically, she first appeared in Pep Comics, the title that would showcase the squeaky clean Archie. The art is particularly great fun to look at, of course. From the cover by Frank Cho to Sheena to Vampirella, flipping through this volume will show you the people at Hermes took a lot of time and care with the lush visuals, focusing on published and very rare original art. The art is particularly well photographed -- I love looking at originals and all their blemishes are there to linger over. Along with the GGA visual sizzle, Mr. Goulart provides plenty of steak. And the themes of the book are with us today. There are a couple of books out about the government crackdown on torrid comics in the 1950s, but none of them do the scholarly job that Ron Goulart does in linking the cause of the publishers (sales) with the effects of their good girl art (corrupting America's youth). Goulart paints a picture in the chapter "The Wertham Crusade" of an American public ready and eager to accept the assertion that comic books, "the bastard offspring of newspaper comics,*" were the cause of growing juvenile delinquency. This is, of course, again, darn silly in hindsight. I was wrong when I said that Mr. Goulart was wasting his time on a frivolous subject. Even now, we have trouble sorting out decency in a free country. Are there really a dozen Danish cartoons so indecent that they are the direct cause for riots and deaths and cannot be shown in the newspapers or on TV? Do creators have the right to produce what they want? Should the Web be censored? GOOD GIRL ART has, of course, some great and rarely seen art by Matt Baker, Lee Elias, Bob Lubbers, Nick Cardy and many others. It's the scholarly Goulart who gives this big book some serious historical heft. An excellent addition to your bookshelf.
