Torchy's pretty good, even if it is an excuse for some 'good girl' art. But why does this Sam Brown character remind me so much of Bob Hope??

NotesAll credits added by Craig Delich 2011-27-11 per interview with Gill Fox [by Jim Amash] in Alter-Ego #12. The cover is reprinted in black and white.

Gill recounts that "this could be the first art done on Torchy as Bill Ward was just developing his style (note the overdone folds on the male character. Also, Ward had not yet developed a pattern for Torchy's hair, using short strokes on a poorly drawn head."
