Love that it's a flag cover too, not common on a Romance comic. .....Sniping is an art form my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bidding was at $40 with 4 seconds left when I sniped $250. Usually my artful snipe of over 200% the current bid works... It is a pretty beat copy, but it's the first I've seen for sale. comicnoir and comicjack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, if the cover isn't VERY appealing I'll wait for a beater copy. It seems all of the Atlas interiors are worth picking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagii Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Long hunt over..I think Hartley was checking out the competition that month. This could be a cover for St. Johns 'Wartime Romances'. It's really Baker-like in it's layout. Even the woman in the bottom box looks like a Baker girl. Also love that it's a Flag cover, not common for Romance books i think.

It's a cool book, but the contrast with the similar WTR covers does show why Hartley was Hartley, and Baker was, well, the MAN! sagii and 1950's war comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darned if I can remember who I bought it from raw. Maybe @jimjum12 ? It must be a horror comic...her right hand is severed...

Personally, I'd identify him as the co-creator of The Spectre and Hourman... jeez, the guy even drew Tex Thompson in Action Comics #1!
