Great late-1940s atmosphere in this one. I wonder if the singer is meant to be African American? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks as nice as a BAKER to my unrefined eyes.................... My eyes aren't too refined, either, but I would say this one's a notch below Baker at his best. When I was first shown Romantic Hearts V2 #9 many years ago, I had to ask, "Wow, is that by Baker, too?" (I still don't actually know who did it!) porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's great (aside from Mr. Albert B. Feldstein's great art) is the coloring. Really sets the mood. I wonder if Marie Severin did the color work or if it was before her tenure at EC.

Sqeggs Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I guess we have two romance threads going (three if you count the Baker thread). Thought I would put this one here because, unless I'm missing something, it appears as if there are no graded copies of any of the three issues in this series. Kind of a weird photo. Does she have him in a trance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Love Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 and here's a relatively new pickup for me - superhero(ine) with a romance twist. I couldn't love it anymore if it was a WW1! Well, you know what I mean. FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
