For more than 40 years, Dan DeCarlo best known for his definitive renditions of Archie Comics' Betty and Veronica, two of comics' most beloved icons. But before joining Archie and unbeknownst to many, DeCarlo has honed his skills as a good girl artist for the Humorama line of digest magazines. Following the immensely popular The Pin-Up Art of Dan DeCarlo, this second volume once again displays DeCarlo's sexiest Humorama pin-up cartoons, and continues Fanatagraphics' dedication to showcasing the best of the classic pin-up cartoonists.
