Pop culture historian Ron Goulart talks about his new book on "good girl" art.

Q: How do you define "good girl art"?

A: It's basically pinups. Way back in the '60s, the American Comic Book Co. started doing a catalog. They were selling comic books through the mail and they'd say, "This one has superheroes or Superman art," and then they would come up with comics that had "girl art," and then they would say, "This one has 'good girl art,' as opposed to lousy girl art, I suppose. Although some of the good girl art quality is not that great, a lot of it is.
