GA Romance 7 7

[PovertyRow]

We have Rare Romance and Baker Romance but there is no overall GA Romance topic, unless the search really IS broked!  

We have GA Horror, Crime, etc. but not a general GA Romance so I am being brazen as a good romance book should be.

Just picked this one up. The title has many interesting scenarios in their pre-code offerings!

Hi-School Romance #12 (Harvey 1951)

PS - if the search really IS off please direct me to the GA Romance topic and I will move this one there!

I think generally we just use this thread for cool romance bookage, but hey! what do I know, I'm just a cat

Not to disagree but I disagree! 

"Rarest" certainly has a place but also a meaning. It would be a disservice to just plop any random GA Rom book there and would, by the powers that be, dilute the very topic itself!

Pardon the crappy pic. Book is buried in a box. Was attracted to it because of my affinity to old horror films!

These Harveys certainly aren't rare...

Thanks. Not seen these but classically good Harvey GA look. A bit of research shows nicely affordable, too. Definitely will be picking a few up.

"He rustled my heart."  Who writes this stuff?

Awww...Look at the little snow people in the background.

Not sure, but I wonder if the same person came up with this diddy about a cowpoke.

Continuing our western romance theme...

 

[PovertyRow]

Picked up a few Harveys. Really enjoying this new direction for me.

 

First Romance #10 - 1951. Reminds me of the scene in Attack Of The Giant Leeches just before Bruno Vesota comes upon his his wife (Yvette Vickers) and his best friend (Michael Emmet).

First Romance #20 - 1953

The couple being discovered is a popular theme. May make a fun "genre".

First Love #27 - 1953

Yet another trio!

[PovertyRow]

First Love #49 -  Feb 1955 - the Last of the pre-codes for this title, which continued post-code through #90 in 1963. Very Van Helsing-esque use of the mirror. Guess the guy is "Bob".
