Baker art seems to be even more popular. Kinstler art is probably the next best example of romance art (I found a story in Perfect LOve).

Comics with the “ore” stamp were probably sold in Sweden or other Scandanavian countries. There were some warehouse finds of 50-60s leftover American comics for distribution to American military bases with the "ore" stamp. The Four color 195 posted by Sqeggs has an 85 ore stamp. 85 ore was about 13 cents United States in 1948. 50 ore was about 10 cents American in 1952. Here are some other stamped books: Tonto, Cisco Kid & Cowgirl Romance (posted by Scrooge) The Bobby Benson 14 has a stamp in the upper right corner (posted by Tri-ColorBrian) I don't think Bobby Benson is a romance comic although it has a kinky look.

Sqeggs Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 According to the Metropolitans, this is the Church copy. We'll see if the skeptical, hard-bitten, seen-it-all CGC graders agree. pmpknface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You very rarely see high-grade copies of these Cole romance books. I think there are even fewer high-grade copies of these books than there are high-grade Baker St John books. comicjack, 1950's war comics, pmpknface and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sqeggs Posted February 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2019 Another great Cole romance cover. Only four on the census, with one in 8.0 -- I think that's very high for one of these books.
