Dr. Love

There wont be a season 2. It ends where the book ends - kinda. If you enjoyed this show, and you can still bring yourself to "read a book", I highly recommend you read Shogun.

The show is to the book as a light bulb is to the sun.

yeh Bob on the Submissions tracking page, click on the Submission link and then click on the Line Item link and it brings you to the Verify Cert page with the grader's notes and the scans

You think HA could have gotten more $ than Blissard on this book?

@eccomic

Your descriptions, grading, and extensive photos for your books AND jackets are top notch.  Shows yourself to be a real book collector and, when the time comes, a thorough and knowledgeable book seller.

say hello to the new Pa Kent

another bold casting by Gunn!

When  started collecting romance in earnest, I set out to capture the available data and construct my database. Love on the Racks was the only feasible way to do that, then and now. 

But I didn't always agree with Nolan's choices on what to include.  In her Appendix: Catalog of American Romance Comics, she included Avon's Betty & Her Steady; Charlton's Nurse Betty Crane and Dr. Tom Brent, Young Intern; Dell's Private Secretary; Atlas' Night Nurse; etc.  I did not.

But I did include the first four issues of Popular Teen-Agers, which Nolan did not. Not because of content- it's clearly teen humour. But I drew the line at getting that granular within the title.  You want to change things up, give it a different title which all of them did at the drop of a hat.  Otherwise - you're on my list, buddy!

Ok..  1 other opinion....  this one:

But is it really a romance cover?  

This is one of the ones that I include as a romance book, but Michelle Nolan does not.  She counts this title from #9 on.

A masterpiece, I tell ya

I think this is a good teenager cover, but I still consider a lesser effort from Cole. 

It's unnecessarily busy, the color design is rather drab, and the gal in the green suit has an unattractive face.

I'm stupified!

Original Owner. Or OO once removed. Not from an auction or a dealer but a regular scrub like you...and me!

Easier perhaps, significantly is relative. 10 years for an 8.0 vs 20, or never? Atomic Atlas are rough across the board.  All romance are rough.

Now that's a kick in the jewels.  It was all set to be the 2nd highest graded of a big big book.  Still has quite the value given the grade and the slight resto - just not as much as it would have been, obviously.  This was an OO pickup, yeh?  A nice haul, Atlas romance in these grades just aren't out there!

Maybe full ask is what it will take.  Not out of the question for this book - it's a grail, aint no denying

Romance - still undervalued!  Comparatively speaking, of course!!

The $4050 offer is gone, does that mean it sold?

Still there on the new listings list.  And it should remain there if accepted, yeh?  Not sure how a counter that's accepted would show up though.

it's a new submit, and I mean new as in graded 3 days ago.  It may not even be in the seller's hands yet.  And not willing, as of yet, to trust the HA waters.  As in if I can't get my price ima hold.

Yowza.

Ask is $7,500 for this highest grade - next in line is the 5.5.  Not that Atlas romance are out there in high grade to any degree, but this book in particular is ridiculously hard to see in even mid grade.

Current unaccepted? offer is $4,050.  I would think an acceptable offer would have to at least start with a 5 in front and maybe even that wouldn't do it - a 7500 ask seems to suggest you gotta come with a 6.

Great film. Javier should get nominated for best supporting. He was the foundation for the whole thing, man he can act. I think I'll go back and watch No Country.  Zendaya overacted but whatever.

Easy money and probably a preference for doing covers as opposed to the grind of multi-panel story telling.

I only recall a couple interiors, including all of Don Juan.

he did grind it out for his main man Goodman for years in another venue, that being Everyday Astrology, a monthly "magazine" - covers and 8-10 quarter and half splashes and many small panels per issue even as he walked away from comics.  Artists of his generation often aspired more to be seen as illustrators to adult themed content than as cartoonish creators for younger readers.

How come Schomie did no interior work?
