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