Sqeggs Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Outstanding books posted! Brian, that's quite a show. Two of the four big ACG's, and that Confessions 53 is one of the nicest copies I have seen. The census is sparse on this issue. Search for Love 2 is much harder to come by than #1, and your #1 is very nice as well. We want our Crippens to keep their troubles, if any, on the flip side, and your copy does that as well as any I've seen. The Love Journal 10 - fantastic! Great shape, that single staple is always a bit of a problem. That's a big get, this book just does not come around too often at all. And the Love Romances 40 - now that's one heck of a book. I think I know the Atlas line up and down, but I can't recall seeing this before. It's just gorgeous, on the want list now. Thanks for the kind words Dr. I don't have much, but I'm trying...BTW, I've had that Love Journal since the mid-90s. Got it from the large Asian fellow who used to send out a nice catalog. I think he's named after a motorcycle... As for the Love Romances 40, I saw it first in this very thread and set out to find one. A nice boardie had one and sold it to me for a very reasonable price. George Yamaha. Whatever happened to him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I think George still does cons. He usually can be found sitting at his booth. He's pretty friendly, however not very talkative. If he gets tired of answering your questions he will just turn his back on you and fold his arms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicjack Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I really like these two covers. The fact that they're consecutive issues is purely incidental. I've had the #50 for several years, but the #49 just recently turned up. Great stuff! Love them both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I can say that, and mean it, now that I've found myself a copy!) A high grade copy would be a real thing of beauty. Does anyone have one? (Dr. Love?)

Scrooge Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I wish Don't have a copy either but here's another Pike with same effects a little later in the same run - Granted # 49 is a better cover with the close-up Btw, that's the 2nd infantry division insignia. Pike himself was in the Marines during WW II, not the army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger66 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I love the above covers and hope to be lucky enough to find a high grade gem. Moody and timeless covers. While we are on the subject of rare romance comics - I wanted to share the below new acquisition of mine, which is currently in transit to me via Canada. Never saw this cover before but for obvious reason I had to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
