Bill Ward was a defining voice in the language of gay make erotic art, best-known for his long-running comic series DRUM in the legendary leather Magazine DRUMMER. Accross three decades, drum followed its namesake hero through a charged world of (self) discovery, danger, desire, and deeply masculine pursuit. 

Part sexual odyssey, part fantasy epic, drum blended pulp tradition with golden-age porn sensibility. Ward's characters - centurions, cops, werewolfes, bikers, bears, daddies, soldiers, bosses, sons - Wore shredded denim, tight leather, cockrings, suits and gym sweat, moving through the plots thick with sex, risk, and the longing for brotherhood and belonging. 

Through it all, drum - the man - wasn't just a characater. He became a vessell fro the gay male erotic imagination itself, shapelifting to explore the fantasies, fetishes, and emerging identities of a generation. Ward's line was muscular, exacting, and unmistakably male - both in form and intent. 

With Drum, Bill Ward didn't just draw men. He drew himself.
