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? Interesting stuff. I wonder how Charlton got their hands on it. And why. Maybe they just wanted to see how it would sell. Most websites don't have it listed as being part of the regular series. Comiclink sold one a few years back. https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?id=1396603 The most info I could find was from the nice folks at MCS. But it's not much. https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=360171 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were smart, nimble, opportunistic. Since they bought those lines from Fawcett and had the material to reprint - well then why not get Giordano to slap on a new cover and see if it sells? and they got an answer - nope. Otherwise, as sure as God made little green apples, there would have been a Negro Romance #5. MrBedrock, Point Five and Professor K 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have the Fawcett 3 ( like posted here by someone earlier, I regrettably passed on the last copy offered on Clink a few years ago).

Professor K Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I just noticed this one. From 1972. At least they didn't call it Negro Laughter so that's good. MrBedrock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
