Popular Post StephenAB Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 If this is not correct place to Post this, Please move it, or direct me where I should put this. I don't post much on this platform, but I read alot, I thought I would take a chance. I've been collecting 1st Black Appearance and Black People in Comics and covers for half of my entire collecting Life and I'm almost done. That was my Goal and Passion. My Negro Comic titled part of my collection is almost done, just Missing Negro Romance #4, tough book to find. I thought I would take a chance and see if any of you Awesome collectors, with stashes sometimes, could spare a book or keep me in mind. I thought All-Negro was hard, but Negro Romance #4 is a tough one for me. Just trying to complete the Title. Any advice or help is helpful.

Tri-Color Brian Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I don't have it, but are you only looking for books with flattering covers of black people...or "everything"? If "everything", do you have these? jas1vans, aardvark88, StephenAB and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUECHIPCOLLECTIBLES Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I had the Negro Romance 4 some years ago and foolishly let it go never to see it again for less than 20X what I had sold mine for. Here are a few other notable books if you're looking to flesh out that collection ThothAmon, comicjack and jas1vans 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've long hoped to add one of the Negro Romance books to my collection, but no luck so far. And like a few people in this thread already, I foolishly didn't pursue a #4 that came up for sale years ago, and regret it today. Ah well!

MattTheDuck Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Interesting focus to your collection. Here's a few promotional books - not exactly the featured players but part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I may have this wrong - But a few years ago, @Ricksneatstuff was selling an All-Negro Comics. I can't remember the number, but I remember him mentioning how rare it was. I don't remember if it sold or who it sold to. I tagged him for more insight and hopefully my memory isn't completely off!! Very cool collection! I've never owned any of those books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plady69 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Cool collection! One of the other old time collectors can jump in here, but think the first black superhero was in Best Comics #3 back in 1939? KCOComics and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Readcomix Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I didn’t see it in your awesome pic, but you probably have it. But just in case… Josie #45 is the first black character in Archie Comics, Valerie Smith of the Pussycats. Congrats on an amazing feat, there are some tough books there for sure!

Robot Man Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I don’t think I have ever run into a Negro Romance issue for sale. Certainly, never at a live show or EBay. #4 would be the one I would jump on first if I were ever gave the opportunity. Seems, I have seen tons of the books pictured here with blacks in a humorous situation or giveaway books. Good luck in your quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor K Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Why is Negro romance 4 so expensive? Did Bill Cosby buy them all up? But seriously that's a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pemart1966 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Negro Romance #4 is a bit of a weird book when you dig a bit deeper. 1. It was published almost 5 years after Fawcett published #3. 2. The entire book, save the cover, is a reprint of #2. 3. The only thing original about #4 is the cover which is drawn as opposed to the first three which were photo covers. I ask the question - why was this book even published? Anyone know any details? grendel013 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
