Bill Ward’s Mother in Law

Naturally if Bill Ward draws a mother-in-law she’s going to be a hyper-voluptuous, vaguely threatening red head.

Who’s mother is she? What does she want?

Bill Ward’s Wild Party

Wild Party, Louis Fisher. Bill Ward cover art.

Looks like Bill Ward during his glamour phase.

Big Score

Imagine her garments as a cheerleading costume.

Bill-Ward-Big-Score-Football-Players-Rape-Woman

This Bill Ward cover implies that the football players are going to rape the young woman but the covers always implied events that didn’t take place inside the book.

Life Size – Life Like Instant Action

I hope anybody who bought this electronic playgirl didn’t really expect it would live up to the Bill Ward illustrations. Or that the promise of a deep throat didn’t mean the doll could perform fellatio.

I Love Black Power

In addition to the sexual endeavors of older women Dr Klow also explored interracial sex.

Side Street

Side Street, Arlene Duval. Bill Ward cover art.

Unique Books and associated imprints never used words to persuade men to buy their books. Prospective purchasers were to see the cover art and start thinking sexy thoughts.

Pity the Poor Maid

Being a domestic servant was just awful in this vintage trashy novels. Your employers were weird and threatening. Often you were accused to stealing someone’s jewelry.

Society Madness

Society Madness, Bill Marshall

My own favorite of Bill Ward’s Wee Hours / Unique Books covers.
What will happen to the carpenter who walks in on the woman and the maid who is fixing her hair?

Bill Ward Society Madness Bill Marshall

In Bill Ward’s glamour gag cartoon drawings he exhibited a real feeling for fanbrics, investing them with an almost intangile gloss. You still she that here.

Pickup

Bill Ward Cover Art

Pickup, Jon Parker

Sex worker waiting for a client? Bad girl on the prowl? The man’s girlfriend waiting for him to pick her up for a date?

Just Friends

Just Friends, Peter Willow

The word friends was meant to suggest to the potential purchaser that the young women were gay. Their location that they were prostitutes.
But they were probably just clerical workers who shared the same office.

Extra Duty

Extra Duty, Peter Willow

I suspect the implication of this Bill Ward cover is that the two young women are sex workers. Reading the book may have revealed the man was visiting the girls for the least exciting, most quotidian of purposes.

Bill Ward: Art School

Bill Ward’s art often focused on lingerie. Nudity was mostly a late deveopment when he powers were fading.

Just Once

My guess is that Just Once is a Unique Book about a man caught cheating on his wife.

Strange Mood with Bill Ward cover art. A Bill Ward peeper must surely be the sleaziest.

Shake Down

Shake Down suggests blackmail but the woman has a gun.

Door to Door

All Bill Ward housewives dress this way. Will the door-to-door salesman succeed in more than selling brushes to the lady?
