I'm usually pretty careful about recording who I bought a book from, but I guess it may have arrived during a busy period. At any rate, thanks for selling me a great book!

Sqeggs Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Seems as if I've seen a number of copies of this issue, but this one is the sole copy on the census. Arrived from CGC the first time with bad NRs, so I had it reholdered. Edited to add: The scan seems to show NRs, but I don't see any in hand. I took a photo of a spot that shows NRs in the scan but the photo correctly reproduces an NR-free area that seems on the scan to have NRs. Odd.

No where near what the Horror/Sci Fi genres would be commanding (even with the lower grades), but on the way up. If ones not too picky on condition one can amass a pretty sweet Cole Romance set currently. Sqeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobbledclam Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Does anybody know where Hank Williams romance comics are? Those to me seem to qualify as rare. Museum? Hank Williams Singer-Songwriter KNOWN FOR A string of hits that included “Honky Tonkin’,” “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” “Mansion on the Hill,” “Cold, Cold Heart,” “I Can’t Help It (If I’m Still in Love with You),” “Honky Tonk Blues,” “Jambalaya,” “Your Cheatin’ Heart.” QUOTE "No matter how I struggle and strive, I'll never get out of this world alive." AMERICAN MASTERS FILM Hank Williams: Honky Tonk Blues (Jun 2004) Directed by Morgan Neville Explore more from this episode About Hank Williams Timeline Filmmaker Interview – Morgan Neville Hank Williams: Honky Tonk Blues Filmmaker Interview – Morgan Neville August 10, 2005 5SHARES 3COMMENTS WITH DIRECTOR MORGAN NEVILLEWhat got you interested in this project? What drew you to Hank Williams? Everything about Hank Williams interests me. His music, his life. His death. His impact. It’s the kind of subject that one hopes to find. Although there is a cottage industry in books about Williams, there has never been a thorough documentary. That made me feel there was room to do something.Did you learn anything that surprised you about Williams while making this film? He is one of those rare American figures who seems to elude simple description. The longer we spent working on Hank, the more his character refused to be pinned down. During his life Hank wrote virtually no letters, gave few interviews and often gave people conflicting ideas about who he was. This has allowed people to project fifty years worth of mythologizing upon him. We went looking for the human side of Hank in the myth and was surprised by many things we found — he was a friend to African Americans in a time and place where that was not the norm, he loved guns and was an avid fisherman, he was a mischievous prankster to his friends, and a voracious reader of both romance and horror comic-books.

sagii Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 @Cobbledclam Nice bit of trivia. Well, a lot of the Country music songs then were love songs so not too surprising (but my money would have been on 'western comics' ) Cobbledclam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadin Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Picked up the first year (1957) of On Stage by Leonard Starr. Sort of romance - definitely soap opera. Thought I'd post a few strips here, just for you romantic types. First Sunday: Secretary's knowing look in second last panel is just perfect! Tears, overcoats and walking across the tarmac in a snowfall. Beautiful 1950's style heartbreak.
