I've shared an image of this before in the foreign comic collecting thread , but I'll add some more detail here.
"Historietas" Contigo A. XVI N. 736
An interesting re-drawn Colletta mash-up cover, and I love the title font with the hearts within "Contigo".
The Baker interior story is uncredited on the Grand Comicbook Database (which I believe is due to the inking), but it comes from Wedding Bells #19 (Nov. 1956 - story titled "Why Did He Stand Me Up?"). I don't see any results on GCD for this Mexican series, and I'm not aware of the cover that this was swiped from (likely Charlton). Publication data is on the back cover (Editora Sol, S.A. - March 1965).
The print quality on this one is quite the range; from really sharp to non-existent. I guess the printer didn't know how to balance the printing plate as it seems the "fade" is always towards one edge of the sheet. I took a few pictures for examples.
Size is about the average height of any typical modern comic, although slightly wider and needs a larger bag and board.
Bottom staple is detached from the cover, sunshadow on both front and back cover, browning edges and the pages are cream - so I have to handle this with some care. As it is, I'd likely grade it a 3.5.
"But Myra, honey, I love you! I swear I wasn't out with any other girl last night! It was only an old army buddy!"
