The Wonderful World of Bill Ward, King of the Glamour Girls - Reviews

Page [1] [2] [3] [4]

"American pin-up artists and erotic cartoonist, Bill Ward, finally gets the TASCHEN monster tome treatment in the form of this extremely large-format, 350 -page volume. Which I guess is only fitting for a man who created such a huge body of work. Indeed, between the late 40s and his death in 1998, Ward with his zeppelin breasted, wasp-waisted women in nylons and spike heels, gave visual realisation to the collective imagination of the red-blooded American male." Desire Magazine, London United Kingdom

"From the huge format, heavy paper stock and volume of pages, to the pneumatic pointed breasts, long legs and high heels found within, everything about this TASCHEN publication screams excess. Destined to excite any man with a pulse (and indeed any female fan of 50s glamour), this is a whopping dedication to the fifty-year career of pin-up artist Bill Ward." Grafik Magazine, London United Kingdom

"This isn't so much a memorial to the work of glamour cartoonist Bill Ward as a monolith erected in his honour. The book itself is of epic proportions which seem to match the incredible fecundity of this output... TASCHEN's book, which incorporates a well-researched essay by Eric Kroll is a comprehensive collection of Ward's work and a fitting tribute to one of America's best loved artists." Fiesta Magazine, London United Kingdom

"Yet another giant tome from TASCHEN, this book cannot be recommended highly enough to anyone with a penchant for illustrations of beautiful women. (...) His women are beautiful, raunchy, bright and usually very much in control and this wonderful book of his work is a great tribute to a man whose imagery boosted the morale of many a young man both in and out of active service." Erotic Review, London United Kingdom

"Este festín de curvas y lencería dibujado con fineza y erotismo, es un recorrido por la obra de Bill Ward incluye aproximadamente 600 ilustraciones y entrevistas. El connotado fotógrafo Eric Kroll es el editor del colorido trabajo que remite a provocadoras texturas satinadas que apenas cubren cuerpos voluptuosos." Conozca Más, México, D.F. Mexico

"...an extremely captivating book that the reader will have to take a long time to enjoy-this is one big hardback. Highly recommended for retailers who have the room to stock it." Erotic Trade Magazine, London United Kingdom

"Il y a une vie après les super héros, et les dessins de Bill Ward nous le démontrent avec de bien beaux arguments. Après un passage dans le comics Mainstream - il créa plusieurs « super patriotes » durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale tels Captain Marvel, Blackhawk ou encore Torchy -, ce dessinateur américain a choisi de se consacrer exclusivement aux pin-up et à l`illustration de charme. Les éditions TASCHEN lui rendent aujourd`hui un véritable hommage en publiant une rétrospective de cette longue et riche carrière - qui fait de lui un auteur aussi prolixe que Jack Kirby - trop souvent méconnue. On trouvera ainsi, dans cet écrin, plus de 1000 dessins dédiés exclusivement à la beauté féminine. Comme l`écrit son éditeur, Eric Kroll: « Les femmes de Ward transpirent le glamour. Les longs gants d`opéra, les boucles d`oreilles en diamant qui touchent les épaules, les talons aiguilles, les fines robes en satin, les décolletés prononcés…tout y est ». Un vrai ravissement." La Lettre L'officiel de la bande dessinée, Paris France

"In seinem 80-jährigen Leben hat Bill Ward vor allem eines gemacht: Frauen gezeichnet. Und die trafen mit ihren Proportionen den Nerv der amerikanischen Männer. The Wonderful World of Bill Ward, King of the Glamour Girls bietet eine umfangreiche Sammlung seiner besten Arbeiten … Seine ‚Babes` verkörpern nicht nur männliche Fantasien, sondern erlauben auch einen tiefen, humorvollen Blick in die amerikanische Nachkriegsgesellschaft." Hessischer Rundfunk online, Frankfurt Germany

"The Wonderful World of Bill Ward is an endless treasure trove of gently adolescent erotica, and, in this era of endless hardcore Net porn, a welcome visit to the good old days of our sexual innocence." TORO, Toronto Canada

"You`re going to need the just released, massive, dream come true 350 oversize page coffee table collection The Wonderful World of Bill Ward, assembled by cult photographer Eric Kroll. Ward`s full artistic and personal life is covered in detail previously unknown." Femme Fatales, Los Angeles United States
