Post your Bronze Romance Books 9 9

Here's a couple i just got back recently. A big thanks to greggy for selling them to me.

Some quick box-diving in Baltimore produced some great results, all at absolute bargain prices. Was really pretty exciting to come across some of these books. The Marvel and DC were great and, in a warped way, the Charlton was just as exciting. Some of these books you just never see in any condition, never mind relatively HG.

 

The other thing that continues to amaze me is how low the census is on romance books. I hadn't checked many titles in over a year and assumed the numbers had creeped up. Instead, some books continue to be absent, and many only have one or two graded copies. Unreal.

 

The sole Marvel:

 

 

Some sweet, sweet DC romance:

 

 

 

 

 

Clearly DC didn't have a lock on gray-tone covers. Here are 3 Charltons--I've never seen the Teen-Age Love and I Love You in close to HG:

 

 

 

 

And lots more 70s Charlton goodness:

Nice books, underthebigw!

 

Who handled the interior artwork for those Charlton romance books?

[Hepcat]

Bronze Age romance covers were far better than Silver Age ones!

Wow... that's nice Greggy!

[Hepcat]

Nice! But are all your comics plagued with that plastic infestation Greggy?

 

My favourite cover from the short Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love run is this one by Neal Adams:

 

 

[Ghost Town]

[sterlingcomics]

nice! I could absolutely see myself collect the DC 12/15 centers. Glad to see some more have come to market.

Young Love 69

 

The end of silver, or the beginning of bronze? October 1968 is a bit early for Bronze Romance, which I would start with the Marvel titles from Sept-Oct 1969. Let's split the difference and call it Pre-Bronze. A hard book to come by in grade, as I'm sure many of you know.
