A new one, kind of fell into my lap. Another one of these swirling, drama of the mind romance covers - pretty good. I like the funky patterns in the red at the top against the blue bottom.

Caldwell Higgins. He did some covers and pin-ups for Timely Atlas a little after this. In the variety of mags at the end of the girlie pulp era with more but tamer photography (and less fiction and illustration) focused on long legs. Peter Driben on the bottom here

Saunders. The top one is most excellent.

Woo! Killer books, Bedrock. This one cracks me up!

I saw a copy of this issue sell on eBay just this weekend, not 7.5, but pretty nice. Architects get all the girls? Completed a scan of issue 6 picked up via this very thread very recently, Bernard Baily cover: https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/yahy1xzzrhjcwbl/Ideal_Romance_06_(1954-10.Key)_(Love_Jones).cbr/file https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?dlid=35581 https://archive.org/details/ideal-romance-06-1954-10.-key-love-jones-ia

Scarce title, I don't own any. We don't even have images for 2 of the 5 issues.

I hadn't caught Untamed Darling as a Driben (though I'd noticed Jack Woodford as author of both books). I'm thinking at least one of those Harrison covers also has an eve with the apple. I'm pretty sure I have this one in my boxes but cannot find a scan for some reason, surely his first Eve and apple cover, 1934 No doubt in my mind I'd buy both Woodford/Driben books in nice shape like that at nice prices

Not sure how I ended up with so many Canadian editions Boy Meets Girl #2 from Super. 36 pages versus 52 in the American edition. Instead of an ad on the ifc like in the U.S. version, the Super leads with a splash: Then, for a portion of the comic, color just seems to cut out Bride or old maid? It depends on how you behave in these situations One Gleason copy in census (don't think it's that uncommon, but maybe in grade), no Canadian issues. Only one Canadian issue of the entire Super run in the census, and #2 is actually the first issue Super did. Boy Meets Girl starts with painted covers for the first 18 issues, and maybe only a few that stand out. This one might be best: 19-24 are photo covers which is always unfortunate, but the last issue is a wild one. It sure looks like he's hiking up her shirt o.O With 25 it switches to Boy Loves Girl and to line drawn covers. The other Gleason title was Lovers' Lane. Gonna have to read more issues before passing judgement, but it's no Crime Does Not Pay -

I'd love to see it operate. Ooh, a bunch of models here: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/book-vending-machines_b_2945364

Ah, yeah, it was a mag. One copy showing at Worthpoint, somebody found a very nice edition. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/private-investigator-detective-4648619677

Arrived today, bundled in packing tape and a cut up brown paper grocery bag. Endearing only because it's a Manhunt

I think I've seen the Bouncing Betty issue of that one for sale, but I'd have remembered if I'd seen this second issue - as I tend to like a catfight : Is it illustrated? More like a pulp or a magazine?

Dominador de Hombres !

Doesn't look like he wants to toss those out to me Awesome.

Looks like there aren't any issues of the Superior printing of this Fox in the census. Inner cover lacks the pinks (hence no bleed like you see on the U.S. version), and the final pulp page and back covers are different ads. It kicks off with a Wally Wood story, apparently, but it's not the most attractive. I do like the creepish cover, tho

I didn't win this one at the Heritage Auction this week but did take the liberty to work with the auction image, Stephen Waite. 3rd in a five issue run that went from 33 to 34. Anybody have any of these? The magazine index is missing 3 of the five...

There are a lot of "clunky" websites out there in comic land. You'd think Comiclink/Comic Connect's would be better with all the $$$ involved.

Yeah, no, that's a crime digest (interesting in it's own right, I'm on the look out for cheap copies), and this series is a full sized saddle stitched magazine. The second issue I'm looking for was published in April 1960 and looks like this (horrible image, and the only image I've ever seen, from Galactic Central): P.S. Sai from Pulpflakes (probably my favorite blog on pulp) has made this cool search tool for the Fictionmags Index: https://pulpflakes.com/fmisearch/ It's not perfect but makes finding basic publication info on a whole variety of magazines much, much easier. A little trickier to use in terms of tracking down artists and the like, but it still gets me where I need to be in the index quicker than clicking around. I use that link *constantly*

This is probably a long-shot. Anybody own the second issue of this one? https://archive.org/details/private-eye-v-01n-01-1959-11.-calyork-d-m I know it exists but have never seen it for sale - an oddball mag very much in the vein of men's adventure mags (illustrated fiction, "true" stories, pin-ups, cartoons) with a detective theme. This first issue is pretty scarce, but the second one is straight ghosty.

Absolutely, you see one you've never seen before, and you know you might not see it again - definitely the wonder of the pulps. There's a ton of books on my huntlist I've never seen for sale. And probably a ton of books I've never even seen images of that belong on my huntlist That's not to say I'm not seeing books I've seen dozens and dozens of times fetching crazy prices in these recent auctions
