I feel that "Heart Throbs" has more great covers than the other romance titles DC was putting out.  Not to say that those other titles had some awesome covers...

[Dick Pontoon]

This is veering into Bronze but I like the cover.

[Get Marwood & I]

The Secrets of Young Brides aren't often revealed in Englandville so I snap them up whenever I see them, pence or cents.

Look at that lot 

As we Charlies know, the cover is often a swipe from an interior panel. Though I like the actual cover here, I can't help but think they missed a trick by not using the later panel shown below which is far more striking:

That's a lovely image, isn't it.

Teddi Byrnes, apparently, so best use a condom, Wilson.

It was the free swimming pool that tipped me off.

Found this at a local show today for $10. There is always a challenger. I wonder who wins. God, I love romance books

[Frisco Larson]

Great score!!! These are tough to find and at THAT price, practically impossible!!!

Pike was one of the greatest romance artists ever. Schomburg, Baker, Kamen, Feldstein, Doolin, and Lubbers laid the foundation for GGA/Romance but Pike took it to another level.

Notwithstanding that I just got a copy back into my collection, I consider Pike's cover to Young Romance 150 to be THE iconic DC romance cover, and right up there with the best of the Golden Age.
