I've cleaned out all dealers in the Northwest of romance books, even Hawaii where a shop had put some aside from a collection waiting for me to holiday there again to pick them up. Like this |

Quote:Originally Posted by southerncross Just curious why? Is your name Karen or your significant otherās name Karen? Or is it based on the āKaren memeāsā that started circulating on the internet a couple years back? I love collecting romance books, across the board. Most silver/bronze romance books can be found cheaply- some not so cheaply and are tough to find, at all But if you do the leg work, which is very time consuming, I have found that most SA/BA books are indeed out there, waiting to be picked up at decent prices. I gravitate towards Romita and Pike covers, but there are a handful of other under appreciated SA romance era artists who deserve much more recognition than they receive. |

Quote:Originally Posted by southerncross Same here, but the northeast. Over the past 2 years,I have switched more over to 40ās-70ās romance as my rabid collecting focus. For the 2 yearās previous to that, I relegated my main focus towards DC Universe logo variant books, Timely & Atlas western books and 50ās war books. I still hunt them down but switching my main focus up every 2 years or so is more fulfilling. Timely western keys are a MFāer to find, hereās one I finally scored for a song off eBay a couple months back. A 1.0 or 1.5 copy popped up in my mycomicshop want list last month, it sold within the first hour or so of it being listed at the asking price at $150 or so. About the same grade as my copy. I think itās just a matter of time until Marvel , and the MCU films, start rebooting their 1940ās-50ās western characters- as well as Matt Hawk- Gun Kid 60, which is a book that has already become pretty pricey and if you get lucky, you can get a raw beater for $75-100 but thatās unusual. The title was mislisted, and it was an auction. IIRC, the starting bid was $19.99. I was the only bidder, |

The Charlton nurse books are my #1 jams. Betsy Crane, Cindy Doyle , even the flying ones. Wasn't a great deal of them on the DC side. |

I have a love/hate relationship with Romance comics writing. The endings are often predictable, just so many bad decisions, like my grandmotherās soaps. Yes, I watched the whole Luke & Laura saga, even the amnesia story arc š«£ In general, I do like the humor and the artwork. It is good for the variety and breaks up the action stories. Here are a couple of Bakerās and Millie when the title became a romantic adventure series with all the same characters (#113ā153). Millie was a Humor book with Romance sandwiched in between. |

Been doing a little research on the Harvey romance books lately. I was surprised to learn that Harvey did use female writers and editors for the romance titles. It definitely speaks to the pre-womenās lib culture of the 1950s with regards to the portrayal of the role of women in society. |
