Romantic Hearts? I was looking at my copy of a couple which I'd scanned back when. We're still showing 5 unscanned issues at the digital libraries. An oddity in that the issue was used twice (which is what had me doing the detective work): Check out the number in the upper right. It's issue one of the second series (indicia publisher Story) but exactly the same as #11 of the first series (indicia publisher Master) except for the indicia and the attempt to ink over the second "1" in the numbering. Two copies in the census, a 4.0 and a 8.5. CGC has a few of the second series clumped in the census area of the first series, romance disrespect! Love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage. Just look at those dishes piling up. Make that swine clean, too! JVJ's got this one indexed as Ed Goldfarb. Yeah, now this one's juicy. Is hubby a crook or a rat? I suppose the latter makes the preferable husband, hrm... Beck art, he also did the cover. I was planning on sticking this one (and the other ish I have, #3 from the first series) up at eBay but would HAPPILY trade for unscanned issues, beaters welcome (mine are beaters as you can see). We're missing #2 (3 copies in census) and #7 (1 copy in census) No cover even showing for #7 at the GCD. If anybody has the issue at least show the cover plz :] From the second series, we're missing scans for #9 (11 in census), #10 (zero in census), and #11 (1 in census). I totally remember hunting #9 now with no luck. There's no wonder there's 11 in the census for that one. WANT. Catfight!!! YASSSSS.

Yep, OE, you're right. I wasn't seeing Vargas, either. https://www.askart.com/auction_records/Dennis_Magdich/126748/Dennis_Magdich.aspx Defo his. And likely the best piece in that auction. This one is ridiculous. But I like it

Sorry if I'm all True Crime up in here, but I imagine it's in the same spirit art-wise - Even the beaters on these can present nicely, the condition sort of fits the material Except for the mook who decided to put a 1949 sticker on it. WTF. Why WHYYYYYY -

I'm pretty sure I sent an image of this cover to the GCD years ago. I don't think I've seen an image of another copy. Zero copies in census. 7 copies in for the DC edition. The cover's dark, the back cover's grubby and the pages are pretty brown, but it's really flat and square and solid and supple like no one read the thing til I thumbed through it just now, wild. Has a 3 pager on Burt Lancaster in the middle, kind of odd, will have to track down the original printing to complete the index for the issue. The rest of the stories are in the U.S. edition except for a 2 pager text story, Heavens Above!, (with an illustrated masthead) that runs front and back cover. Definitely not as cool as the inner covers on the American edition. The printing actually looks better than the U.S. edition which is not how that usually goes I don't know how I ended up with at least a few super scarce Canadian romance editions :I

A cheap GA refugee that attached itself to a not so cheap buy this week, was happy to see the Kinstler cover, and I like the purple tint and caligraphy on the side of the plane. I'm not really a fan of aviation comics but there is a nice long interlude involving Chinese pirates and Junk warfare that gives the issue an adventure feel. All Ravielli art.

So cool! I'm reading American Daredevil on Gleason right now. The early hero comics from him don't do anything for me, but these crime comics are fantastic. Seems like a bound volume would make for a pretty incredible reading copy You blow my mind with this stuff, RM

Love wrestling mags, especially 50s into the 60s Memphis legend Sputnik Monroe tho I do have a bit of a soft spot for some of my childhood era

Woo, beatiful! Great copy, too

Was just looking at this one, forgot it was a paperback, I'm wondering if any other undergrounds made it to pb -

I did almost post the Dodd! for the fiends. I like the sunset colors in that one a lot. I already put up my fave of the auction in the digests thread which probably was hanging over a bar somewhere I bookmarked some and quickly grabbed the images just now. This one's killer. I need to check out Cassell's, that's a mag I haven't looked into that ran for a long time. A lot of the artists in those brit mags are really good and don't necessarily show up in the mags over here, Arthur Cadwgan Michael some others I liked, none of which would break the bank. I really like the last one, but there's some unfortunate stains on the skin tones.

Wild cover! I like the little figurines and flying rocks There's no doubt that story is one of the most read and remembered stories in American Lit (guessing middle schoolers still read it). I did enjoy the recent movie with Elizabeth Moss and have seen some of the Netflix adaptation stuff, but I can't recall reading her outside of a few stories during schooling.

A cool thing I noticed for paperback fans. Doc Love alerted me to the illustration auction going down at HA today. This piece of original art for Male Ward by Belarski sold (for 1,625). C Check out the neat reference in the hands of the dude in the wheel chair, another Belarski paperback (linking Mick Sidge at Flickr here on the bottom. Flickr's really a great place to do any paperback title search to find images, dates, artists, series numbers, etc).

New addition: a brilliant and blistering expose of TEEN-AGE VICE...photo posed by professional models -

Like this one, I really do like it :P

That Eye of the Temptress is really good in my humble opinion. I'm watching the rest of the auction now. I don't own a single piece of pulp art, but in an auction like this, I could easily find some great lesser known and unappreciated pieces that would look great on the wall - even if it's a wall my wife doesn't have to look at

A new one, likeliest in the best shape of the handful I have in the series. This sort of paper doesn't tend to fair very well. MIDNIGHT

Love it! The double design works pretty well here, but it's super funky~ :O

I recently sold the second issue. It was in decent shape but the front cover was super dark. It looks like I can make out Warren King's signature on that third one, too? How about the Navy Romances, show em if you got em My favorite King book I've gotten to play with (from the JVJ collection): https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?dlid=11512

I like this second one. What a nice copy, too.

Ha! On the Reform Girls cover, she does have that Tonya Harding appeal. Great backstory (RIP Marty).

Coffy kept a razorblade in her afro. This senorita has a shiv in her do, too.

Is there any background on this photo, perchance, anybody? Like the model or whatnot? Between the Avon comic and this pub here, it's so notorious. "Scarlet Secrets"
