In a way, it's your fault I even collect Atlas romance. When you were putting together your runs of every Marvel made from 1957 on, you used to periodically post lists of what you still needed.... the hard to find stuff. Naturally there was a lot of Romance, War, and Westerns. I love a challenge so started trying to find them at shows to help out. My friend Gene used to have 4 or 5 short boxes of Atlas with dozens of fairly sharp Romance …. I was slowly drawn in. Those books are long gone now, with few replacements in sight ,,,,, can't find much on eBay even.... other than the overgraded and overpriced stuff that just sits and sits. Metro is wiped out, Worldwide is wiped out, no one really has any except maybe Harley and Terry, both of whom I never see any more.

With his foot up there like that it looks pretty uncomfortable (not to mention his tiny feet)... I'll bet there's a sweet Pike interior story!

It has a story in it that's attributed to Bill La Cava, but it sure looks like Matt Baker to me.Quite a few panels just scream Baker. Either way, I'm just not seeing La Cava on this one. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) No question on the interiors, but (Colleta's?) inks are strong on the cover, but yes, there are strong Baker hallmarks standing out from under. I will have to spring for a copy of 'Art of Glamour' as i see many updates and confirmations have been made that weren't 'decided' on for the 'Alter Ego #47' piece. Speaking of which, i got back last night in time to catch the opening books on the CC auction. I think there was an unconfirmed on the label Baker cover (or two) 'hidden' in those 'My Own Romance' lots. They went real cheap, even with a little back and forth bidding war on the #65 (something going on with that one i don't know about)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed that CC romance lot. The Art of Glamour says the "I Met My Love Again" story in MOR 65 is by "Baker and/or Vince Colletta?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually pretty careful about recording who I bought a book from, but I guess it may have arrived during a busy period. At any rate, thanks for selling me a great book!

Sqeggs Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Seems as if I've seen a number of copies of this issue, but this one is the sole copy on the census. Arrived from CGC the first time with bad NRs, so I had it reholdered. Edited to add: The scan seems to show NRs, but I don't see any in hand. I took a photo of a spot that shows NRs in the scan but the photo correctly reproduces an NR-free area that seems on the scan to have NRs. Odd.
