Robot Man Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I bought this copy of Frontier Romances from Brad F-VF at WonderCon recently. I had one but sold it. I saw this one at a reasonable price and just bought it. When I started looking at it, I realized why I probably sold my first copy. Just pretty much un-readable. Big SOTI book with that one classic panel otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPark Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 1 hour ago, Dr. Love said: all to kaizerdawg. It sold for $1250, but that is still a very very very nice sale for a VG/F copy of an admittedly hard to find book. Harder than the #1. It has a cool cover but I wasn't really familiar with the book. It surprised me that it went for so much considering it wasn't known to me. Some of these tough romance books are so hard to find...without Baker or Cole art or some classic cover, there are so many great ones flying under the radar... I was just about to check the census on this one...but that was a really strong sale to go with a aggressive buy it now price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently a very tough book, but I wasn't previously aware of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after staring at if for awhile, I put in a proxy bid far above what I ended up paying. Honestly, it's now one of my favorite romance covers. I'd even place it up there with the work of the sainted Matt. Don't know who the artist was. Maybe @Dr. Love can enlighten us. It is a fabulous book. Congrats.

Sqeggs Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Same model (I think), but two very different looks. MrBedrock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love photo covers, of all the genres that used them, Romance ones tend to be the best of 'em (with a few exceptions of course: Rifleman, FC #785). I have a raw copy of the Love Lessons bought as nm/m. The cover blurbs are outrageous Sqeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagii Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Rita Hayworth is referenced a lot on these Boards for look a like model covers of the photo, line, and painted variety. But how about an actual Hayworth 'glam' cover? Beat but complete. Her other cover later in the run (a war themed cover) features Miss Hayworth with shorter locks and not as dolled up. That's actor Glen Ford with her on the cover (Pa Kent from 'Superman '78'). The issue features a four page biography with text and pictures of her life to that point. There's also a great headlight splash that was so good it was reworked for issue #12 of the series.

I don't know if that was the only film they co-starred in. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JvR11 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I saw this on eBay and this is the first time I have seen a -script. So neat!
