Dr. Love Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 1 hour ago, Microbia said: 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. What a great book! As Sagii noted with his sweet purchase of the Dear Lonely Heart #7, Comic Media are real hard to find in grade - very little output overall. Don Heck was one of their go to guys, and this is one of only two Heck romance covers from the 50's. 1950's war comics, sagii and FoggyNelson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I've bought a few things from Microbia... I'm pretty sure my CL 15 came from him... (CGC 9.0, from the 'Circle 8' collection)... wonder if he remembers this one... though it was about ten years ago...

Microbia Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Yes, I fondly and regrettably remember that one! But glad it stayed in the hands of a passionate collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it, man. Why do you think I still have the book, a decade later, and not once have I even considered selling it? Btw, your price on the book was very reasonable, I thought... even ten years ago. Thanks very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Another cool 'Comic Media' publication! Great cover, if you factor in he's bringing her a Hot Dog even takes on even more funny situation On a side note: That Mildred Norton character even resembles classic Hollywood actress Joan Crawford in this image used also (there was another one used more regularly on the other covers). The fact Crawford won her only Oscar for the film 'Mildred Pierce' makes it even more possible the publisher 'stole' her likeness Edited March 23, 2018 by sagii Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Mildred Pierce on TCM a few years ago and it's really something. Well worth a look if you like old-time Hollywood pulling-out-all-the-stops films.

Hey, I'm a classic Hollywood movie geek too I know GCD has mentioned it's a Crawford lookalike too, but yes, I think the Mildred Pierce angle confirms it.

Sqeggs Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hadn't seen a copy of this one before. Kind of an unusual portrayal of a pensive couple. Although I suppose I would be pensive too if I were an outsider, a romance wrecker, and the whole town was talking about me. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
