I like some of it... wish I had a ready made scan of my Brides Romances 7, but since I don't, here's one from the Digital Comic Museum (one of several Quality covers I like a lot):

Here is mine of this issue...

I don't have a Sweetheart Diary 38.  But, this was cover was a swipe from a Baker story.  I just don't remember which one!  I should have kept notes.

I think Love Secrets 40 and Brides Romances 7 were a story line that was used for cover material.

doh! looked at these covers a dozen times plus, and never drew the connection these are the same players! 

Fascinating. Serialized Romance. A first that I don't think the St. John run of covrers can lay claim to. (Don't mind me, I'm just trying to :baiting: @Sqeggs ) :D

I think maybe what happened is that Baker did a storyline for them and they just used two of the panels for covers.

I bought the TLP 5 I posted raw from Harley for $275.  Why do I let that man take advantage of me? :cry:

 

That was a deal

Yep.  In hindsight, it was a steal.  But this was probably five years ago, so it didn't seem cheap at the time.  

As collectors and occasional sellers, we usually remember the stuff we sold cheap that later took off in price.  I suppose when you are a full-time dealer like Harley, you just shrug it off because it happens so frequently.

Splash to Cinderella Love 14, a non-Baker cover issue so I only just became familiar with this story...

Baker at the peak of his powers.  This was one of the very last new stories he did at St. John, right before their titles switched to all reprinted interiors.

Joanna- the scan you posted of Sweetheart Diary 38 seems to have vanished from your post... but were you thinking the 4th panel on this page from CL 14 is the source of the swipe you mentioned?  The composition does seem very close to SD 38...  

Edit:  Seeing the SD 38 cover again, I'd say that's a match.  Good catch!

Yep.  You nailed it.

Since we seem to be uncovering interiors (pun intended)... 

The entire "Mitzi" story from Movie Comics #4 was later reworked and re-scripted for Cowgirl Romances #10...

So, "And I do mean flesh! Look at those biceps! What a man!" becomes "Here he comes -- but those men what are they doing?" :)

Not a response to the CCA, of course, because CGR 10 is also pre-Code.

Joanna gets the credit for making the connection.  I just got lucky and found the panel... but even there, I had a little help; the recently posted CL 14 splash page served as a subliminal reminder.  I knew I'd seen that image before, somewhere...
