Popular Post Point Five Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Yo dude, I'll give you a hint! The title is 'Boy Loves Girl' not 'Girl Loves Older Guy!' Thought this cover had a real elegance to it. Edited July 8, 2021 by Point Five MrBedrock, comicjack, Microbia and 8 others 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorick Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I was looking for my Secret Story 1 to post some interior shots over in the Less Than Ten Census thread, and I ran across this GCD no-show... Romantic Hearts #5 (Gordon & Gotch - Action Comics Publishing), no date. (Is this a Prentice cover?) Point Five, Microbia and comicjack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robot Man Posted July 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2021 Cheating a bit here. I know not GA but damn this seems hard to find. I have been looking for a copy at least 10 years. So long I finally even took it off my want list. But I kept hoping and it hit my mail box today, Yeah,yeah, yeah! szav, Dr. Love, OtherEric and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) In answer to the hottest question on everyone's mind at the moment - will the Promise Collection have any romance? The answer is yes Young Romance #1 - 7.0, not the highest grade by a long shot Ideal #5 - Timely photo cover - 7.5, not the highest grade, there's a 9.0 I guess these were well read!

Dr. Love Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 More Promise romance to come, some real high grade Young Romance photocovers and other romance as well. He's obviously into COMICS, more than just superhero. Hitting all the genres at the time, except maybe not funny animal/cartoon. There is the one high grade Four Color though, so there may be more. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dr. Love Posted July 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2021 and here are the Promise romance to date. It's beginning to look like the kid was more a Church type of collector, buying books because that's the mission, having not much to do with genre preference. I find it hard to believe a male teen in that period would be "into" romance books on the basis of they were just so awesome! And romance photocovers? That's a bridge too far for most if not all, even today. Except myself and @Bumble Kitty! Maybe a case could be made for him being a Kirby freak of the first order, and just followed that fanboyishness into Prize romance. But what about the Timely romance? Just a Timely fan in general? A litmus test will be if he bought Fawcett romance, as they were certainly available (being the only romance title coming out monthly) but exclusively "sappy" photocover (always the happy couple) with no star artists or salacious content. Speaking of which, would love to see some (more) Fox. The one entry showing up so far is a disappointing 5.5.

As we know, romance photo covers are generally slow sellers (except for the few salacious covers). I wonder if these Promise books will bring nice prices or stratospheric prices. Your information might put a crimp in my buying at the Torpedo Con. Dr. Love 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post manetteska Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 This one is pushing the Golden boundaries (or may be way past it depending on who you ask) but thought it was odd enough to purchase. A double-length $0.15 issue with a nice cover image. Zero copies on the census but probably due to no one submitting. sagii, Chief1332, ThothAmon and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
