Most of what I know about Wenzel comes from a great book called THE PIN-UP ART OF BILL Wenzel by Alex Chun & Jacob Covey (Fantagraphics, 2005): He created thousands of cartoons, each of them immediately recognizable due to his distinctive style. Wenzel cartoons appear in every major men's magazine throughout the 50s, 60s and 70s, from the lofty PLAYBOY to ROGUE and ESCAPADE and SWANK and so on, right down to the cheapest Humorama digest. Bill Wenzel was an incredibly prolific 20th century American cartoonist.
