| @ComicHoarder There's a few copies of this book as I'm lead to believe a warehouse was found that had a few uncirculated copies of this book. | ||

This is the only real Romance Comic I have left from the 1950’s. The one I regret parting with was a copy of Diary Secrets #29 with a Matt Baker cover. |

| @southerncross I was thinking the same thing. Couldn't believe there wasn't one. I've been on them tough for several years now. That and GA Crime but they are not found as easy or affordable as the Romance. Still that doesn't mean they havent heated up nicely last 8 years or so. This was the first one I got. The Romance titles were the first comic titles to put African-Americans on the covers, rarely out front like this one but usually as a couple in background. Lobo was 1965 and they followed in tne early 1970's. This Young Romance is '73. Luke Cage was '72.  Also into the Nurse books, the Charlton titles, the Romita's on the Marvel side, DC went into the late 70's with theirs as did Charlton, several of those. Wedding dresses yes, oddly enough, the weird ones lol. Got a couple Neal Adams, not really into the photo covers but I have a couple. Some GA when I find them, No King Romance books though, crime yes but none of his Romance. And Baker's are out of my orbit. Quote: Originally Posted by southerncross This.

Extremely difficult book to find in high grade, but then I guess they all are from the GA. "Cinderella Love" #10(#1) 1950.  |

Owned this less than 2 weeks. First of the DC takeovers from Prize. Usually like 'em a little nicer than this but it was a steal and I wouldn't have ran into it again anytime soon. |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

Romance comics are not a main focus of my collecting, but I have started to appreciate them more the last couple of years.  |

I've never seen this 25 here. Thank you. There are a handful of anti-Romance Romance covers lol. |
