I know its a silver age book but it belongs in this thread, and the topic of DC romance came up recently so ....courtesy of a boardie.  As often as the word gets overused I feel this one's truly a grail.  Paid a hefty ransom for it, but well see in a few years whether its me or the seller who regrets the transaction.

I've been hunting for a nice copy of that for a little while.  Yours is QUITE nice.  I only know what it is from reading the threads here.  Fortunately, I have a few of them...

Picked up my first two Superior romance books (My Secret Marriage #1 and #20) today at Wondercon. The interiors (by the Iger Shop) are surprisingly good and tasty. 

I presume these Superiors are comparatively scarce in grade, I found less than 10 in the dealers’ room with the highest being raw VG/F.

Not a Baker in the bunch, but I’m quite pleased with my WonderCon haul...

Ummm.... Exotic Romances?  ... Baker attribution.

That Untamed Love looks like a perfect copy.  I have one in about 6.0.  LOVE it.

Yup, and a very well done Baker story it is.

The green background on the Untamed Love 2 is deeply rich. Normally I don’t go in for photo covers but she’s a perky cutie. The book has white pages, too.

Wow Steve that’s a whole lotta love! Didn’t get that black cover beauty from Harley? I looked a a few of those Quality Bakers but just don’t care for them I guess.

It was tough to get many good books in there. Seemed like a lot of Love and ECs. I LOVE ECs so I went down that road. I know me, Ron Murray and a couple other guys resorted to cheap box diving on Sat. Lots of good affordable stuff if one gets their heads out of the clouds, roll up their sleeves and dig in. Got a lot of fun stuff I didn’t bother to post.

I reluctantly passed and another boardie wisely snatched it up...Yvonne De Carlo. :luhv:

I like Odgen Whitney's art more than Matt Baker's.

There, I said it. :shy:

I like Maurice Whitman better than Matt Baker... there I said it.

Just never say it again! :taptaptap:

Great books!  Those two Love Tales are pretty tough Marvel/Atlas romance books. I don't like many romance photo covers, but those are two good ones.

Finding them in decent shape is certainly a challenge.

It's probably a File Copy, but no way to know for sure.... I've been a closet fan of the photo cover Romance books for a while now. GOD BLESS....

Comic Book Cover For Love at First Sight #23

That's a beaut!  I'll agree that this is one of the better photo covers.

Ok.  Now tell me with that full moon that this guy isn't going to turn into a werewolf.  He looks like he may already be half way there. :whatthe:

I don’t buy many love books, but I’d probably make an exception for that one...

It's a little easier to see Everett's hand on this one.

One of only two signed Everett romance covers.  Which is the same amount for Heath.

Dang!  Colletta just inked the heck out of those two.  I wonder if his first step was to erase Everett's pencils? hm

Makes me wonder if it started as a horror cover and then somebody at Gilmor said, "Hey wait! The cover never came in for Radiant Love 6.  What can we use? Let's see, if we cut the fangs on this guy and clean him up a little, it just might work."
