In both jobs, he designed and illustrated tourist guides, manuals, pamphlets, road maps, and traffic surveys. From 1961 to 1981, he worked in a similar position for the Louisiana Highway Department. From 1947 to 1961, he lived in Jackson, Mississippi, and worked for the Mississippi State Highway Department as an illustrator and staff artist. During World War II, Corley served in the South Pacific in the United States Marine Corps. Biography Ĭarl Vernon Corley was born in Florence, Mississippi, in December 1921, growing up there to graduate from Florence High School. Gay historian John Howard, who rediscovered Corley's gay pulp novels in the 1990s, argues that Corley's work "complicates queer cultural studies by unsettling its urbanist roots." Corley's texts are not typical stories of gay young men from rural areas finding their ways to sexual liberation in cities, but instead describe "many complex nodes of circulation, not just aggregation". Corley also has written and illustrated non-erotic projects, including Louisiana history and religious books. From the 1970s into the early 1990s, Corley continued to write stories for gay pornography magazines. In the 1960s and 1970s, he wrote twenty-two novels of gay male pulp fiction. Beginning in the 1950s, he drew physique art for male beefcake magazines and for sale as posters. Carl Vernon Corley (Decem– November 3, 2016) was an American author and illustrator.
