More Big 25 cent era goodness!

I just love this design era for DC.

Any idea who did this cover? GCD is unsure but thinks maybe Giordano. I think that's on the right track, but I wonder if its more a team effort by his studio. There looks to be more than a little Neal Adams in the inking and the male figure particularly. And that severe Nurse Ratchet looking woman in the background looks like Chaykin to me. I know Adams and Giordano were partners in the 70's, and Chaykin at one point worked for Adams, so... yeah. Best guess from me - Giordano roughs, "Many Hands" finishes from Giordano, Adams and Chaykin?

Agreed: Giordano and Chaykin.

Chaykin never would have occurred to me, but it sure looks right.

It's taken me a while, but I've finally decided that Marvel's 25 cent reprint romance books might be the absolute toughest BA to find in grade.  Came across these two while cleaning up our living room during this damnable snow storm.  Picked them up in a bargain bin in my favorite central PA store about 10 years ago.

And another DC.  Not sure about when I picked this up, but I think it was probably the same store.

Damn those Marvel romance girls are pretty. But they are always crying. 
Consistently moreso than the Charlton and DC girls. Did Roy Thomas make them cry ? Stan the man ?

Got in a lot of "readers" from ebay and was happy to find among them a handful of solid mid-grade books. Nothing spectacular, but some nice, tight, flat books with gloss:
