I'm guessing, but like Richard said, they are all Charlton products, the covers and interiors, but they are mismatched, the inside covers are blank, and the one appears to be yellow plate only. The other, the crossword puzzle book, says in the upper right it's a Charlton publication, but it's clearly not supposed to be a romance comic book. I got them in a lot I bought mostly for s decent copy of First Love 11 (headlights cover), and these were a pleasant surprise when I waded through the stack.

Wish the grade had come back a bit higher, but I know see that there was more damage to the open edge than I had remembered. Just a great cover. Looks like she has had a rough past decade. ACG really started cranking it up a serious notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Picked this one up cheap on the bay because I kind of like the cover. Look at the surprise I found on the first page?

Your Colleta's will soon rival your Bakers in numbers Speaking of which, how much percentage of your collection would you say is Romance now? I know I was going through some scans the other day and was surprised at how many I own. I remember years ago when I vowed the only Romance books in my collection would be the Negro Romance and Forbidden Love runs.

I don't know, but it's got to be 20%-25% by now. And, yeah, the romance bug bites hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Actually I have an old scan, I don’t think they are the same after all. Would have never expected to see another nice copy of that book. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Quality Romance covers it can be tricky: There are covers confirmed as him that are obvious. There are covers obviously him that are not confirmed by any of the Baker reference 'tools' I use. Maybe the 'Art of Glamour' has confirmed some of these since the Alter Ego piece. Even in the AE piece the author states questions remain on some pieces 'confirmed' and unconfirmed. Then there are the covers that imho are his that are buried under such heavy inker work that only the slightest Baker traces are left. One sure sign i notice in most of the Quality covers with heavy and light inkers is that the Baker men are WAY more obvious to spot than the women. A strange twist considering the man is known for his ladies. In the G.I. Sweethearts series, I believe #35 could be Baker. The other two i was referring to(my apologies) are from the other War themed romance Quality title 'True War Romances'. I believe issues #10, #12 and #20 are Baker in that run. Someone bought up the Jungle books long to be believed as Baker as not being Baker. Maybe we need a Thread devoted to this subject?

I think he was only working at St John at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For True War Romances, the 10 and the 12 were published when I think he was still only doing work for St John. I can kind of see what you mean with the 20 that the face looks Bakerish, but, as a whole, the cover seems too awkwardly drawn for me to think it's Baker. But I could easily be wrong!
