sagii Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 This one arrived today courtesy of @Bunky Brian from his recent Thread. At first i thought i overpaid a little (given how obscure and off the radar it is), but i know some of the publishers stuff is very HTF, and this one had been on my eBay watch list for a loooong time. Love the cover (maybe the inspiration for Atlas' Girl Confessions #26 ). The girl has a Grace Kelly vibe going and the guy is totally Robert Mitchum, and the fact that he's so 'forward' but you know she's intrigued . Anyway, all feelings of over paying went away once it was in hand and i peaked the interiors , just WOW! Thank you Brian Sqeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, I just happened to recognize the Wood story, and knew where else I'd seen it. But I'd say it's correct to assume this publisher relied largely, if not entirely, on reprints. Some of the other material looks a lot like stuff from Superior books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd say it's correct to assume this publisher relied largely, if not entirely, on reprints. Some of the other material looks a lot like stuff from Superior books. After a little checking, I found that Dear Lonely Heart #7 (Comic Media) was published in Aug., 1952, and Popular Teen-Agers #14 (Star Publications) in Nov., 1952. So the latter was evidently not the original source for "I was a Shrew!" But this should come as no big surprise. It's well known that Star published tons of reprints, a great many from Fox. So it's at least possible that Dear Lonely Heart #7 was the original source for that great Wood story. But it's the other pages that make me wonder; the pages that appear (to me, at least) to be from Superior publications. Of course, Superior used material created by the Iger studio. It's certainly possible that Comic Media did, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the interiors look like Superior comics (Iger) interiors. Great Detective work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like his earlier stuff. Based on this, I'd still guess that story is probably reprinted from a still earlier source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Wally 'expert', but from his renowned examples i am familiar with, this does look 'looser' , so yes. absolutely a possibility too.

Probably rare in high grade only...or maybe not at all, its a Harvey. Still a great Al Avison cover, and an issue with a scandalous OPG citation for a rape scene...yikes. Really happy to have snagged this one. Congrats! Interesting, quite a few Harvey Romance books have a rape story citation in Overstreet. I know the Horror Harveys are sought after because of their covers, but their Romance books seem to have had a great deal of the subject matter inside that was driving the 'good Doctor' mad.

Popular Post Microbia Posted March 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2018 One of my favorite Comic Media covers. Kudos to Mr. Heck. Love the way wine bottle in the foreground is pointing “up and at her,“ and the shadowy shroud behind her head suggests an element of intrigue with an arm holding a gun. And it fits the bill for “rare” as the only graded copy. comicjack, szucchini, 29dukedog and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
