Bill Ward's TORCHY - MODERN COMICS #58

A



It's time for another fun-filled Torchy story! Mainly because I happen to have another copy handy!



Torchy by Bill Ward in an adventure from MODERN COMICS #58.

Torchy - MODERN COMICS #67

Torchy's next adventure comes from MODERN COMICS.

Torchy - MODERN COMICS #53

Our next Torchy story was originally published in MODERN COMICS #53. Art is by Bill Ward, who also drew Blackhawk stories for that title.

Candy - DOLL MAN #9

I forgot about this when I put in the Torchy story from DOLL MAN #9. Candy is from the same issue.

Torchy - DOLL MAN #9

This is the second Torchy story, we had the first one here a while back. The art is by Bill Ward, who created the character and continued to draw her on and off for years.

Torchy - DOLL MAN QUARTERLY #8

The first Torchy story.

TORCHY

We've had TORCHY here before, but not this one. I think. Sometimes it's hard to keep track. Anyway, this episode has Torchy teaching science, and one of the other characters in the story looks an awful lot like "Dr. Sivana" from CAPTAIN MARVEL. You see mad scientists that look like Sivana every now and then in old comic books.

This one's a reprint, I think it must have been in color originally.

Blackhawk And Torchy From Modern Comics 101

Blackhawk and Torchy stories were both originally published in MODERN COMICS. Here are their adventures from issue #101 in 1950.








Blackhawk's origins went back to the second World War and he originally fought the Nazis. After the war somebody else had to be the bad guy. Not infrequently the bad guy was a brunette villainess of the type Carole Forman used to play in the serials. Carole Forman played the villainess in the Blackhawk serial, of course.

Bill Ward originally drew Torchy, but when he had other comittments, Gil Fox drew the character. This story is by Gil Fox.

 

In this period, Torchy was given about the same supporting cast as MY FRIEND IRMA had on the radio program, except that the boyfriend who didn't seem to be much good for anything was the other girl's boyfriend. MY FRIEND IRMA was also a comic book in this period.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Chicken" was what Al called Irma on the radio program MY FRIEND IRMA.
