Pretty girl Pike


Jay Scott Pike specialized in pretty girls. I've seen a lot of his work in Atlas Comics, mostly love comics. After he left comics he went into pin-up illustration. You look at Jann, in this story from Jann Of The Jungle #8, 1955, or Marcia, from Girl Confessions #20, 1952, and going into pin-ups in his post-comics career seemed a natural for Pike.

I had a posting about Pike, with an example of his pin-up art, in Pappy's #334. There's another Jann story by Pike in Pappy's #639.
