Am I right? Yes that is definitely Alice Kelley since she is known for her dimples. Comics with the “ore” stamp were probably sold in Sweden or other Scandanavian countries. There were some warehouse finds of 50-60s leftover American comics for distribution to American military bases with the "ore" stamp. The Four color 195 posted by Sqeggs has an 85 ore stamp. 85 ore was about 13 cents United States in 1948. 50 ore was about 10 cents American in 1952. Here are some other stamped books: Tonto, Cisco Kid & Cowgirl Romance (posted by Scrooge) The Bobby Benson 14 has a stamp in the upper right corner (posted by Tri-ColorBrian) Sqeggs and pmpknface 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickamabob Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 On 1/29/2019 at 5:12 PM, Sqeggs said: There is the theory that Wayne developed cancer as a result of being exposed to radioactive fallout from the filming of the Conqueror on location in Utah. Apparently a number of actors in the cast of that film also died from cancer. I don't how plausible that theory is. According to this article, Wayne's cancer is more likely to have developed because he chain smoked as much as four packs of cigarettes a day. (That's what his widow's theory was, at least.) But the region indeed was highly radioactive and likely caused many of the 100,000 local residents to develop cancer. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/jun/06/downwinders-nuclear-fallout-hollywood-john-wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker art seems to be even more popular. Kinstler art is probably the next best example of romance art (I found a story in Perfect LOve).
