This one might be best: 100% correct. Best of the run, though if I were to pick a second place it would be #9 (which I have yet to find a copy of) Mr. Lady Luck, Dr. Love, Darwination and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThothAmon Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2023 Lots of great knowledge in this thread. I’ve been salting away romance for decades hoping someday they’d have their day. The rarity question is tough but certainly high grade collections seem few and far between. The Date with Millie 2 seems particularly rare for an early Marvel. Mr. Lady Luck, Dr. Love, Funnybooks and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sfcityduck Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2023 In answer to the thread title question: The one romance comic I'm looking for. Seriously. I've been looking for years. Here's what I've discovered: You can find lots of LB Cole and Matt Baker, that market appears to be thriving, and Toth books also are on the market, as are DCs, Atlas, and especially Harvey ("file" copies). But a lot of "lesser" Romance books and publishers seem incredibly hard to find. An obvious exception are warehouse finds like Charlton's True Life Secrets 23 for which it seems you can't swing a stick without hitting one. But, for example, other Charlton books never hit the market. Makes the romance area a bit frustrating. Much harder than PCH. Maybe the hardest genre to locate a book? I think so.

There were 11 issues of this MLJ (Archie) attempt at a romance run. #9 even looks like an Archie comic... pmpknface, ThothAmon, Point Five and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
