Do you have other romance/etc comics of hers or are they all gone by now? I still have some of the romance books that I wanted for my PC but I sold quite a few to feed my PCH addiction hobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a ‘Ch’ short for Cherrainne which was my grandma’s first name. That's great to know, thanks. And thanks again for the book. I just checked my old pm's and see I bought the 5.0 from you a year and a half ago on the boards. C. Spaulding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that actually a comic book, or are the contents primarily text with accompanying illustrations? It looks more like a pulp than a comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks more like a pulp than a comic. That is correct regarding the contents, approx 80+ pages. It's not a pulp, because of its size, considered a digest.

Point Five Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 That's a crazy cool cover. Kind of a mash-up of Baker fireplace covers and some of those over-the-top All-True Romances! Never seen it before. ThatNerdyCanuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Love Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 What a fantastic set! Well done! Might I recommend Meguiar's Scratch X-2.0 for that OG case on the #6. Avail on amazon.

Dr. Love Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Pike romance covers for Atlas are rare. 14 of them - and Lovers 49 is undoubtedly the best of the lot. Strong participation I think up to about 1K for this sole graded 4.5, and then it seemed to me two bidders went at each other above the 2K level. A really strong price was the result, establishing this book as a minor grail for sure. Remember - the underbidder is still out there, willing and able.

Dr. Love Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) In that Lovers 49, the interior art for the most part is strictly so-so. In other words, just another day that ends in "y" in romance land. Until you get to the last story...easily identifiable if you're familiar with his work. Most are, but not so much in the romance genre. That's a real shame, for he would easily be in the top 5 best artists for this kind of work if not for the extremely limited output.
