Who Bought 70's Romance Comics?

[joe_collector]

Okay, other than Greggy...

 

But seriously, I don't remember any girls reading these books, and don't remember seeing any in collections or sets that I've bought over the years.

 

So, other than Greggy, who was out there buying these books, or are all the HG samples from remainder stacks?

When I read the title of this thread I was ready to reply with "With the exception of greggy!"

[FlyingDonut]

Then? Nobody. I bought stacks and stacks of them in the eBay Gold Rush days.

Like Millie the Model, Chili, and My Love? Mine are well read and the all the ads for dollhouses, hair and beauty products and "How to Make Him Love Me" have all been mysteriously cut out and sent in?

Don't know if I want to admit it.....

 

I collect My Love, Our Love Story, selected DC Romance Giants, and selected covers that would prove un-PC in this day and age. I didn't buy these off the rack as a kid though.

Oh I can prove it alright....just have to get to them in the black hole of my collection.

 

Doubles? I have to check. Though I doubt it....I sold most of these dups when I liquidated my moderns on eBay about 3 years ago. I'll see if I can check this weekend....

Here's one that hasn't made it to the main collection yet....

 

 

I know I don't have dups of this though....

I never did,until some dealer threw in a coverless golden age love comic in a mail-order transaction.I was quite taken by it and bought several modern,including a DC 100pager. Didn't care for them at all.

[COI]

I was just going to ask if someone could post a pic of this cover. Steranko is a freakin' genius.

Yep...his art in so unique compared to the other stories that it seems as if it shouldn't even be in the same book.

Off the newstand......no one I know. Did I keep them when one or two showed up in collections I bought back then (I use the term collection loosely....more like the remnants of other kids' childhood), sure. But I did not know anyone, including my sister, cousins, or any female friends I had who bought them. I'd say that the comic industry had already lost a good portion of female readership by the 70's with the only populare female fare being teen and cartoon titles.
