Lichtenstein got it right. DC war was good, but DC romance for the win. Thanks Doc! You were waaay ahead of the rest of most of us on this stuff. So much to still discover.. sacentaur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Love Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Sorry boys, but I do get excited on the subject. So interesting to me, all of it. DC is fascinating for many reasons. Not the least of which was their clear editorial direction. Women driven. Zena Brody, then Phyllis Reed. That direction can be illustrated by a little bit from Rocky 3, the interview with Clubber Lang (played by Mr. T of course) Interviewer: What's your prediction for the fight? Clubber Lang: My prediction? Interviewer: Yes, your prediction. Clubber Lang: Pain! adamstrange, pmpknface and sagii 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jimjum12 Posted March 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) It's probably a File Copy, but no way to know for sure.... I've been a closet fan of the photo cover Romance books for a while now.

As often as the word gets overused I feel this one's truly a grail. Paid a hefty ransom for it, but well see in a few years whether its me or the seller who regrets the transaction. Very nice! Classic splash I believe. szucchini and Dr. Love 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been hunting for a nice copy of that for a little while. Yours is QUITE nice. I only know what it is from reading the threads here. Fortunately, I have a few of them...

sacentaur Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Picked up my first two Superior romance books (My Secret Marriage #1 and #20) today at Wondercon. The interiors (by the Iger Shop) are surprisingly good and tasty. I presume these Superiors are comparatively scarce in grade, I found less than 10 in the dealers’ room with the highest being raw VG/F.

LOVE it. Yup, and a very well done Baker story it is. The green background on the Untamed Love 2 is deeply rich. Normally I don’t go in for photo covers but she’s a perky cutie. The book has white pages, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t get that black cover beauty from Harley? I looked a a few of those Quality Bakers but just don’t care for them I guess. It was tough to get many good books in there. Seemed like a lot of Love and ECs. I LOVE ECs so I went down that road. I know me, Ron Murray and a couple other guys resorted to cheap box diving on Sat. Lots of good affordable stuff if one gets their heads out of the clouds, roll up their sleeves and dig in. Got a lot of fun stuff I didn’t bother to post.

Those two Love Tales are pretty tough Marvel/Atlas romance books. I don't like many romance photo covers, but those are two good ones. sacentaur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
