Although not a teen book, Venus still included Hedy De Vine stories in early issues so I consider it part of the Timely career women books along with Millie, Tessie, and Hedy.  I had this copy graded recently.  I thought it might be an 8.0 or a bit higher.  Nothing wrong with it but the minor rust on the lower staple and the bindery tear at the top of the spine.  The bindery tear was almost unnoticeable but the holder makes it look more obvious.  It's still a pretty copy though.

Very pretty book, these early Venus are difficult to find and almost never see them this nice.

Finally completed this 3 issue 1952 run, it's been on my radar for five years (ironically, i found all 3 issues this year, with luck and assist). This has really been a standout year for me in terms of collecting. Junior Hopp Comics #1. After a long wait of this being on my saved searches on eBay (and being just a day too late inquiring about a copy listed on Terry's site a time back) this copy turned up. I think i won without much competition because this copy is sorely mis-cut (ouch)! But it has retained gloss, and the mis-cut gives it edge :D

junior Hopp Comics #2 Two weeks ago i was reading @AJD's journal (recommended) and @Marwood & I suggested he check out a site overseas for some nice foreign edition books. These, especially Australian and Brazilian are a growing interest with me, so i took a look myself, browsing even beyond the foreign variants.  Guess what was among the listings? This was the last one i needed so i pounced and two weeks later it's back in States and in my collection! Thanks guys!

Junior Hopp Comics #3 sports what is my favorite cover in the run. (Ow, she's a brick...houuuuse!) Much thanks to the Boards own king of GGA @Ricksneatstuff for this one :foryou:

Great run Corey. Congrats. Real hard to find. I like 3 best too. Got it from Al Stoltz. Took me a while to find the other two.
