H.J. WARD
By David Saunders.Over 200 paintings, drawings and photos.
Hugh Joseph Ward (1909-1945) painted many of the most sensational pulp magazine covers that ever graced a sidewalk newsstand and stopped a pedestrian dead in his tracks. His work has fascinated generations of fans, but his life has remained a mystery ever since his untimely death at the age of thirty-five, while serving in WWII. This book finally reveals the life of the man behind so many masterpieces of pulp art, along with his impressive contributions to the earliest conceptualizations of America’s famous super heroes--The Lone Ranger, The Green Hornet, and Superman. Pulp art historian David Saunders has written an insightful biography, richly seasoned with quotes from the artist and his associates, that chronicles the life and art of this important American master of 20th century popular culture. Includes a comprehensive checklist of all published work.
