Sqeggs Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 GCD doesn't identify the cover artist, but it looks like Hartley to me (although he signed a lot of his work, iirc). sagii, pmpknface and 1950's war comics 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sqeggs Posted February 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2019 Now this one has a more conventional signature. Can't recall seeing a copy before and there are none on the census, although, of course, that doesn't mean much for these books, which tend to have a low slab rate. pmpknface, sagii, MrBedrock and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 And I have a feeling that Lizbeth may have a dissenting opinion as to whether she's actually in downfall mode. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I wonder what Biro thought of these covers? "Looks great, looks great ... but have you thought about maybe having him get up off the couch and strangle her? Just a suggestion, mind you."

Sqeggs Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I assume the presence of the Fab Four explains there being six copies of this one on the census. A heck of a lot for a Charlton romance book. pmpknface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I think this is the toughest issue in this short series. At any rate, I had trouble finding a copy. sacentaur and pmpknface 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Forbidden Love was 'the' series of the Quality Romance photo cover books (or Romance photo covers in general, probably only second to Negro Romance a ways back). Took me a while to complete the run as the two later issues 3 and 4 are tough books. Now when they pop up, they are often met with resistance to stiff buy it now prices. They are still a milestone for me in my 'long time to complete' collecting endeavors, and still tops in my book. But it would seem Untamed Love is the new champ in that regard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPark Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Not sure this would really qualify as romance per se, but St. John in it's prime...if it had Baker I'd post it in that thread but I was happy to get it.
