sagii Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Good points. Mostly mentioned for discussion because the AE piece omitted some obvious ones. On the 20, i agree the art looks stiff, but something about the guy.... Now say too early on the 10 and 12 , but do you see any 'Baker' at all in them ?

If you compare his St John covers from this period, these just look very weak in comparison. The guy with the red hair on the cover of 12 does look Bakerish. Maybe somebody imitating him?

Sqeggs Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Not sure who drew some of these Ace cover, but I really like them. A dirt cheap buy on eBay a couple of years back. Of course, I'm the only person dumb enough to have bothered slabbing one of these. sagii and porcupine48 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagii Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 This comic held steady, almost a photo finish with the second copy offered on eBay tonight compared with a copy from last November. Can't believe the 'Conforms to the comics code' star on the cover considering the scene. Boy Loves Girl #29 also by Lev Gleason hinted at the situation also. The seller listed it in the 'crime' section instead of Romance.

The copy from last year appears to have much better colors, unless it's a function of the scans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagii Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Well anyway, here's my low grade copy of said Lev Gleason comic. Tape and spine splits but still presents well. The interior shots below has GGA and some of the crazy but adult themed dialogue that makes Romance comics so special.
