Bill Schmeling – better known by his pen name The Hun – is an American artist, known for his explicit, homoerotic fetish illustrations and comics.
Bill Schmeling began producing erotic art in the 1960s, doing work for Physique Pictorial and other beefcake magazines, initially under the name Torro. 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.
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). His art is characterized by hypermasculine characters with exaggerated muscles, nipples, and genitalia. Sex scenes routinely involve BDSM with an emphasis on body fluids. Interracial sex scenes are common.
Schmeling lives in Portland, Oregon.
