Surfing Alien Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Not sure... Archer Books are about half way between a paperback and a digest 🤔 OtherEric, PopKulture and Pat Calhoun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer Books are about half way between a paperback and a digest 🤔 If it's Heade, I won't complain where you put it And, yeah, the line between a saddle stiched digest or magazine style paperbacks and actual paperbacks seems kind of slim.

Between the Avon comic and this pub here, it's so notorious. "Scarlet Secrets" Marty Collins, 17 year old Canadian figure skating champion. Her father sued Avon to have 4 pages of letters removed from the digest that insinuated an incestuous relationship between the father and daughter of one of the books characters. Any copies are rare, but copies like Robot Man's (and mine ) that have the letters pages intact are exceedingly rare. Marty died tragically in an airplane crash in 1960, 29 years old Her husband, Morris Chalfen and her brother, Tom Collins were the organizers of Champions on Ice, the big touring Ice Skating show with former World and Olympic champions starring in the 1980's.

Darwination Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Ha! On the Reform Girls cover, she does have that Tonya Harding appeal. Great backstory (RIP Marty). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwination Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) I recently sold the second issue. It was in decent shape but the front cover was super dark. It looks like I can make out Warren King's signature on that third one, too? How about the Navy Romances, show em if you got em My favorite King book I've gotten to play with (from the JVJ collection): https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?dlid=11512 Edited October 5, 2023 by Darwination Sarg, OtherEric and Pat Calhoun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfing Alien Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 The Universal Giants were digest sized fat double books. Warren King's cover for "Concubine" was re-used in several iterations by Universal Publishing on other books.
