Not sure if this one fits this thread or not. Maybe we need a new thread: Headlight Western Covers hm

 

It certainly represents a different approach to "romance" than the typical Matt Baker cover. hm

Wow, where did you get such a nice copy?

 

Bought it raw on Heritage last year.

 

Yes, I see they graded it f/vf. You've been doing well with your submissions.

Very nice. I don't think I've seen that one before.

 

:applause: What an awesome looking copy. Love the #6 also Sqeggs.

Cow Puncher is a great little series with cool covers and entertaining stories.

I especially like "The Devil's Scourge" in #4.

Here's another Avon Western "headlights" cover by Jack Kamen I believe.

I have always loved this cover. Cow Puncher is definitely an overlooked GGA series with fantastic covers.

Howdy boys! You guys got me in the mood for a little late night posting. But not just any kind - you'all know what I mean?

 

Ladies do and the gents you know,

It’s right by right by wrong you go,

And you can’t go to heaven while you carry on so,

And it’s home little gal and do-si-do,

And it may be the last time, I don’t know,

And oh by gosh and oh by Joe.

 

Westerns. Romance. Together they absolutely dominated the market at one point, and quite logically produced the cross-breed hybrid known as "western romance". A small subset, maybe 75 issues?, of the roughly 6000 issues in the romance universe. Mostly big name photocovers, with Fiction, EC, Avon and Star strongly counter-trend.

 

I dig them all, but this Charlton is my fave. Love it so much I'm thinking of getting it restored!
