Yorick Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I really love the Girl Confessions 31 cover. The slabbed copy that sold on HA a little while back indicates Gene Colon as the cover artist. GCD also gives Colon the credit (which is probably where CGC pulled the attribution from). I don't see it. It also seems strange that Colon would have only done one cover for that series and no interior artwork. I really want to believe it's a Hartley/Pike collaboration. Hartley pencils and Pike inks? Any ideas? Point Five and pmpknface 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Well, Jim Vadeboncoeur did the credits on this one and generally speaking his eye is supposed to be right on. However. On this one, I'm with you on Hartley/Pike. Rip and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 All-True Romance #11 CGC 7.0 finished @ $2040.

Really outdistanced the other issues in the run in the auction which are also relatively tough. The headlights and booze are certainly a factor. Do you still have a copy?

Some pretty outrageous stories, sometimes underneath fairly tame covers. I've been chipping away slowly at the ATR #9-20 run for many years. Looks like slabbed copies of Dear Lonely Hearts also got some attention on HA... mid-grade copies went for mid-to-high three figures. Those are all really tough books too; wish I could have nabbed a couple. PeterPark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lighthouse Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I doubt it’s all that rare. But this was the romance book that got me starting collecting them. I have a half dozen catfight covers.
