But for $17 (including postage), I probably shouldn't complain. CGC missed crediting Cole on the label. Nice 'moody' cover. New one to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricksneatstuff Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Picked up this copy the other night. This is definitely one of my favorite romance covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my view, #12 has the rep as the toughest of the 4 issues. That's certainly been my experience...I've owned 3 copies of #11 (down to only 1 copy now ), but I've only managed to ever snag one single copy of #12. Having said that, I wouldn't want to try to find another #11 again, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought for some reason that there were significantly more copies of 12 on the census than 11, but it turns out that the count is: 11 -- 5 12 -- 7 So Edgar appears not to have picked up a copy of any of them.

Shrevvy Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 #11 was the hardest for me to find. I ended up with multiples of all issues except #11 as I bought several of them in groups. Nothing is in high grade. I do believe I bought every issue that I ever saw for sale of this run as I was trying to put it together. None of the issues were that easy to find. torontodesignguy and Sqeggs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Really like this cover. Seems to be some debate over who drew it: Colletta, Hartley, Romita? I vote for Colletta, in part because it closely resembles this issue, which is definitely Colletta since he signed it!

Sqeggs Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Another one that I'm just glad to have a copy of. Sold to me as a VG-, which turned to be right on the noggin. comicjack and Ricksneatstuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartley, who followed Chris Rule and did the most incredible cover run from '52 to '54, was off the covers by the summer of '54. Colletta it is. That My Own Romance 43 is superb. Someone had been experimenting with that heavier shading technique, maybe it was started by Hartley and Pike, but by this time Colletta was beginning to really own it. If he signed the cover generally he penciled and inked it. These covers are treasures. FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Love Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 btw Tony great purchase on the TAR 42. Like Ken, I was on the fence about it. Another day and I would have shot in a 2K offer I think. That price is definitely supported. FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
