Popular Post Yorick Posted February 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2020 Most of the covers drawn for L. Miller's publications are -ahem- less than desirable, but now and then one strikes my fancy.

Early Charlton romance books are such diamonds in the rough Thanks, actually an undercopy I like it so much ( other will grade out at a 9.something , just don't want to handle it till I submit for grading). Was a standout when I was putting my want list of Charlton romance together. mustang33guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagii Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) @mustang33guy That is one of the better ones also, congrats! Great score! These covers capture the essence of two people enamored with each other, and the attention to detail is captivating.

Dr. Love Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Colletta. So good. His stylistic "tells" on covers include background elements like roses and his favorite, billowing cumulus clouds. In addition, his fashion sense was second to none. mustang33guy, 1950's war comics and MusterMark 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Guess I'll bump this thread with a recent $5 book...who is this cover by, Dr. Love? davidtere, mustang33guy, 29dukedog and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 imho maybe Sinnott, but maybe Baker. The horses have a familiar Baker look, a la Diary Secrets 26. Nice pickup, Brian! Tri-Color Brian and sagii 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have altered those colors digitally. I agree with you on Colletta, and MCS lists it as Giordano and Colletta. As for the colors, the only thing that's slightly off is the blue on the guys shirt. My scanner made it a little too dark...other than that it's the way it is. Glad you all like it...I bought it for the colors. I really didn't think it was anything special at the time, but it does seem to be hard to find...

We can agree to disagree, there are even books in the Art of Glamour , the definitive Baker work authority of the moment, that are credited to him and some here dispute that. We will never know. I used to shrug off many of the books listed on GCD 'corrected' as Baker/Colletta but previously credited to only Colletta. And then i took a closer look. It can be something as subtle as a woman's 'smile', the profile (again, especially the ladies), the eyes, but there is something different when compared to ones that are obviously Colletta. Lots of roses, lots of 'scratchy' pencils, striped blouses and suits, eyelashes galore. I can't recall many animals on other Colletta covers, so i'm more inclined to consider he had some assist on this one. Baker did work for Charlton and Atlas. This isn't out of the realm of possibility. If i ever do a Journal again, i want to a segment where i'd like to Thread it with many examples with side by side comparison on what i mean by this. ..and now in true passive aggressive fashion ..Killer Colletta book sir! @Yorick Yorick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri-Color Brian Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 This is embarrassing...I didn't realize how much my scanner was off on my book. I fixed it in photoshop just now after looking at my copy. This is real...still nice, but not as "bold" as the phony...LOL Sqeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
