Gwen Hansen was an editor and writer for Quality Comics in the 1940s^[1], specializing in humor features. ^[2] She wrote the saucy "Torchy" feature while Gill Fox drew it, and she imbued her stories with double entendres.^[3]. She lived in the Tudor City apartment complex on the East Side of Manhattan.^[3]

Manly Wade Wellman described Hansen as "a good editor, intelligent, educated, fair-minded, and very pretty, I remember; sort of like a young Katharine Cornell."^[4]
