    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:

    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 -

    In today.  These two issues mean my Eerie collection is done.  Not complete... with #1 out there it will never actually be complete... but done.

    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
