Dynamic Dames

One of the more prolific 'pin-up' illustrators of the 40's and 50's was Peter Driben. His voluptuous vixens graced the covers of many of the popular magazines of the time like Pep, Real Screen Life and New York Nights as well as book covers and advertising jobs.

One of my hobbies is collecting "Good Girl Art" paperbacks. Above are a couple of new additions to that collection that I snatched up on a recent book excursion to Charlottesville VA.

The term Good Girl Art (G.G.A. for short) is collector's lingo referring to the art rather than the seductive and often 'bad' girls illustrated on the covers of these pocket sized pulps, which were churned out by publishers during the 40's - late 60's.

Also attached is a video I made with some of my covers showing the variety of great illustrations and varied genres of these covers. Enjoy.
