sagii Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 That's a great shot of a striking lady on that one! It looks like like one of the 'Quality' photo romance cover runs. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Not rare but one I've wanted for a while - Perfect Love # 3 - Nice book. Isn't there another romance book with a very similar cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Love Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I do. :grin:Glad i'm not alone. Good catching up with you good Dr. And you as well, Sagii! Sagii and I are old acquaintances, bound over a comic book, newly found. All comic roads lead to the boards. "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers." And sisters of course. The fraternity of romance collectors is small, those who actively collect the photo covers, smaller still. Yet photo covers are a big part of the romance legacy, representing about 1/4 or more of the total romance output of approx 6000 issues. For some publishers it was the sole/chief artistic expression for covers (Fawcett, Famous Funnies, Standard). For others, it played a substantial role in their sales strategy (Ace, DC, Prize, ME, Marvel, Orbit, Quality, Ziff Davis). Comic lovers are illustration oriented. But romantic images of the Greatest Generation were to a large degree captured photographically. A slice of American life, preserved in four color amber. And to me, always, a reminder of what our parents, my Mom and Dad, might have looked like as twenty-somethings in love. Although I'm pretty sure my Mom didn't look like this. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
