Unlike Baker, Colletta repeated himself frequently. He did a number of these "older people admiring young lovers" covers. The young lover looks older than the two older people admiring him.

Sqeggs Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Also posted this one in the Baker thread. If Baker didn't do the pencils, then Colletta was either ripping him off or paying a tribute to him because that guy is clearly a Baker guy, imo. jimjum12, pmpknface and mustang33guy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know those two guys are old because one is smoking a pipe and one has a hat. In the U.S. in the 1950s, neither was legal below the age of 55.

Popular Post Sqeggs Posted May 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2021 I think the cover was marred by production issues rather than wear, but maybe some of both. Legion of Goom, pmpknface, Yorick and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the guy is drawn definitely makes you think about some ... interesting scenarios that may be about to happen.

Sqeggs Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I love this Fujitani cover (shame about the pq!). She's looking up hopefully and shyly while he has a confident smile--pretty skillful for F to show this with how little of his face is visible. I have a feeling the evening is going to go his way rather than hers. 1950's war comics, Legion of Goom and Scrooge 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Not sure if Patty P counts as romance, but this little four issue run is pretty tough to find in decent shape. Scrooge, Legion of Goom and 1950's war comics 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
