Biography
Bill Schmeling began producing erotic art in the 1960s, doing work for Physique Pictorial and other beefcake magazines, initially under the name Torro.[1] Using the pen name The Hun, he has produced series of comics – Hun Comics and Gohr – featuring the sexual adventures of gay men. Stories by Schmeling were regular features in Meatmen. In 1998, the Tom of Finland Company published The Hun Book, a collection of his work.[3]
Recurring characters in his comics include Big Sig (a young and naïve prison inmate) and Gohr (a barbarian living in a brutal, post-apocalyptic world).[4] His art is characterized by hypermasculine[4] characters with exaggerated muscles, nipples, and genitalia. Sex scenes routinely involve BDSM with an emphasis on body fluids.[4][1] Interracial sex scenes are common.[5]
Schmeling lives in Portland, Oregon.[4][1]
