Dr. Love Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) And now, a palate cleanser, like sorbet between courses Romance of Rubber (1928!) 8.5 OW $100 SOLD! uhh, when's the last time you saw one of these? EXACTLY. Amaze your friends! This is true high grade PLATINUM, baby. "This pamphlet was published in the early 20th century by the United States Rubber Company so that "coming generations of our country ... have some understanding of the importance of rubber in our every day life... We believe the rubber industry will be better off if the future citizens of our country know more about it." Learn about Christopher Columbus's discovery of rubber, how the crafty British entrepreneur, Wickham, managed to smuggle rubber seedlings out of Brazil, and how rubber manufacturing came to be a "peculiarly American industry." The myriad uses of rubber from a century ago are also elaborated in considerable detail - everything from submarines to Keds to dentures."

Yorick Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 18 hours ago, Dr. Love said: Girl Confessions #25 VG/F to F- $125 Atlas Tales says Hartley pencils, Colletta inks. GCD thinks Brodsky. Me? I think this cover is AWESOME. At least the foreground characters, the chick in the background was phoned in. No graded copies. Fantastic Pike interior, with stippling or whatever the heck he was up to at the time. The Atlas romance bulllpen was extremely innovative in the 1953-1954 period. Take it. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlas Tales thinks Colletta. I maybe see Baker in the second story, see below. One 6.0 in the census. Take this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) Campus Loves #3 F $425 SOLD! via PM This one requires some context. The issue pictures the incomparable Alice Kelly (photoed by the famous Mr. Blackwell), whose beautiful face is on many romance photocovers. She is revered by the romance board geeks for her beauty, her grace, and her scrumptious joyous dimples. Campus Loves #3 has a particularly happy picture of her against a black background that shows everything. You may not see it so much in the scan, but there is a nbc crease running diagonally from the top right edge to the center of the cover (see pic). It would be greatly improved with a press, but I don't believe it will go away completely. You can see the tiny chip on the right edge. There's also a 5/8" tear on the bottom of the spine you can't see. The back cover will clean up completely with a press and clean; everything you see on the scan will go away for the most part (imho of course!). But this book doesn't just start and end with the classic cover. Quality had the good fortune to have Paul Gustavson as one of their main artists, and his incredible work is demonstrated in this book. His splash? One of the best in romance. 1st right goes to @n2wdw on this one, but feel free to claim 2nd place pending Mike's call. Only one copy on the census, a 5.0. This book is brutally tough. After pressing I think it would take the top spot. It's my only Alice cover left, and it's one of her best, and I love this book, hence the really strong price.

Popular Post Dr. Love Posted September 21, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) WHALE ALERT WHALE ALERT WHALE ALERT WHALE ALERT Love Diary #31 5.5 WHITE It's off the radar for a lot of buyers, except for some knowledgeable romance true believers. This is the only graded copy. It's very very difficult, much harder to find in a decent grade than most Bakers, etc. The most incredible purple cover by Buscema, his best imho, with great interior art by Leav, Shores, and Buscema. It makes my Top 20 All Time Romance books with ease. This book presents better than the grade, as they say. And white pages is like mutant crazy for a '52 romance book. I know it's a strong price, perhaps a bit ahead of the market, but not ridiculously so in terms of either money or time. This would be a very smart purchase for the collector who could afford it. @comicnoir Shores: Buscema: Edited September 14, 2020 by Dr. Love Get Marwood & I, porcupine48, BuscemasAvengers and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
