The Pin-Up Art of Dan DeCarlo, Vol. 2
The first career retrospective of the great Archie comics artist: a fitting tribute to the life and art of one of the world's all-time best cartoonists, lavishly designed with over 300 illustrations, including rare cartoons and strips, and of course, lots of those fabulous DeCarlo girls!
Dan DeCarlo was one of the greatest artists working in humor comics in the latter half of the 20th century. He was without a doubt the most prolific, and for that reason was often referred to as "The Jack Kirby of humor comics." But he might have been likewise compared to pinup artist Gill Elvgren for his ability to render the female form in a way that was at once funny, charming, and unbelievably sexy. DeCarlo worked mostly on wholesome all-American features like Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica and My Friend Irma, but he populated these innocent stories with his irresistibly attractive women. This unique blend of hilarious homespun humor and libido-sparking art made DeCarlo's work outshine the competition.Country | USA |
