Iksar Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Never seen that True Life Secrets and that Osrin cover on Sweethearts 25 reeks of Baker. In a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fett Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) thanks, thats the last Charlton (Sweethearts) I needed, and the girl's face to me looks like some Baker, Was he in the house there that early?

Tri-Color Brian Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) So...this book showed up on ebay and went 6 or 7 days without a bid. Now, it's up again at the same starting bid and same BIN price. I know some of you saw it, and I know that my problem with the price of the book is the crease down the middle, as well as the fact you cannot enlarge the photo and the pics are out of focus. What do the rest of you think? http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOVELORN-52-I-SOLD-MY-BABY-/181884427922?

I think this may be the third time he's listed it with the same opening bid/BIN combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Pretty obscure, but kind of a nice Giordano cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Love Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Pretty obscure, but kind of a nice Giordano cover. Very nice, very nice. Now you're getting down to it - Charlton had hidden gems. Giordano has a substantial body of work. In this case, he swiped it from himself when he was at the top of his artistic game, in 1959. I find his approach to this subject perfect. Wonderfully nuanced, without a lot of drama. You could go through a zillion artists rendering their interpretation of how to draw a couple getting this news and it wouldn't necessarily look like this. And...who is the note to? Him...or her? 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Love Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Even more obscure: The UK edition Yeh I like this a lot too, good pickups! There was a certain period when the covers got a treatment that had a washed look to them. Adamstrange would know better. The more you look at the Charltons, the more interesting they become. Cover wise, that is. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
