So I've been working on the go-go check collection for some years now, and when I first put the list together I listed the superhero books and then I researched for the other titles I needed to make the collection complete; sometimes I missed an issue of one end of a run or the other but by the end of the first year I was fairly certain that I had all the titles accounted for. Except...well a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I was missing a romance book.
Now, I've never been a big romance or humor book collector - although I appreciate the variety of DC funny animal books from the 50's and I like many of them - so I couldn't figure out what I was missing and eventually I concluded that I was just misremembering.
Until last week - thanks to the Savannah collection which has a nice grouping of romance books - I finally discovered that which I had overlooked: Heart Throbs issues 100 through 108. 9 issues that I added to my collection list and once again moved my back under 20% complete. For an entire year I waited to hit 93 books - and now I have to wait another couple weeks of even a month to hit 95.
Oh well - it is the thrill of the hunt that excites me, so why not something as elusive as high grade SA romance books?
Happy Hunting
