Not much of an art historian, especially modern art but I finally read up on the Roy Lichtenstein story ...what a crook. Can see why the comics are hot in light of some of his plagiarized paintings going for over 100 million...just unreal that people would pay so much, but then that's probably what people think of me paying over $1000 for a few comics now...makes ya think. Wonder what the original comic art for everything he ripped off would sell for. Tri-Color Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagii Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Long hunt over..I think Hartley was checking out the competition that month. This could be a cover for St. Johns 'Wartime Romances'. It's really Baker-like in it's layout. Even the woman in the bottom box looks like a Baker girl. Also love that it's a Flag cover, not common for Romance books i think.

Bidding was at $40 with 4 seconds left when I sniped $250. Usually my artful snipe of over 200% the current bid works... It is a pretty beat copy, but it's the first I've seen for sale. ebay 260 bucks 2018.10.jpg"> I'm actually the one who got this one - it's the first time i'd seen it available in over 4 years and I wasn't going to lose it.

It's a cool book, but the contrast with the similar WTR covers does show why Hartley was Hartley, and Baker was, well, the MAN! 1950's war comics and sagii 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darned if I can remember who I bought it from raw. Maybe @jimjum12 ? It must be a horror comic...her right hand is severed... Nah, she's just feeling between the cushions trying to find enough change to pay the photographer. comicjack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'd identify him as the co-creator of The Spectre and Hourman... jeez, the guy even drew Tex Thompson in Action Comics #1!

szav Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Forgive the Bronze age intrusion of a non rare comic book...but the BA forum doesn't really have a good romance thread and this looks like it could have been a Harvey romance book from the 50s... pmpknface and Sqeggs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post entalmighty1 Posted October 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2018 Found this at a local con this past weekend. I'm not into the romance genre at all, but even I knew to pick this up when I saw it. I see there are only 9 copies on the census, but is it as scarce as that would indicate? mustang33guy, 1950's war comics, sagii and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Love Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Nine in census makes it not that scarce overall, but scarce in grade for sure and one of the more desirable and sought after issues in any grade.

Tri-Color Brian Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) I wonder how scarce this is? I heard or read somewhere that it is a kinda tough book to find. I don't know...I stopped looking after I got mine 20 years ago... Well, it looks like on ebay you can buy a postcard with a picture of the cover on it...
