Description

Bill Ward Torchy Daily Comic Strip Original Art (U.S. Army, 1943). PFC Bill Ward did his part to bolster Army morale by drawing a comic strip based around his good girl sensation, Torchy. The strip originally appeared in an Army newsletter published at Ward's home base of Ft. Hamilton, in Brooklyn, New York, titled Ack Ack Amy. Ward soon re-titled his creation Torchy, and it spread like... what else... wildfire, in military newspapers around the globe. This strip has an image area of 21" x 6". Ward later signed the piece in ink in the lower right corner, and also noted the publication information. The overall condition is Very Good.
