Good Girl Art (GGA) is a style of artwork depicting women primarily featured in comic books, comic strips, and pulp magazines.[1] The term was coined by the American Comic Book Company, appearing in its mail order catalogs from the 1930s to the 1970s,[2] and is used by modern comic experts to describe the hyper-sexualized version of femininity depicted in comics of the era.[3]
