pmpknface Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Btw below is a self-portrait of the great and under-appreciated Ogden Whitney I'll take this one off your hands The next issue was also interesting. ACG was kinda confusing with the series name being out of whack with the covers during certain parts of the run. I think these are actually "Lovelorns" rather than "Confessions of the Loverlorns" MUST HAVE!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 You just blew my mind!! At first, I thought it was a spoof cover ... truly Thanks for the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Mentallo Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 You just blew my mind!! At first, I thought it was a spoof cover ... truly Thanks for the pic. Easily a match for any other romance books IMHO. I've had more than one copy down the years and as I recollect the stories have great artwork and are very powerful and mature.

Flex Mentallo Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Not for nothing, as they used to say on the West Wing, but if the short "black" period of ACG romance circa 1954 might be considered "anti-romance" romance books, much of their "horror" output in the next couple of years read more like gothic romance than anything else. Post-code, but generally scarce. Am I alone in liking these I wonder? Edited July 31, 2014 by Flex Mentallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine48 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Any boardies seen/have a better copy? The perception that this issue is a stone cold beotch to find is accurate. And the reality is my Canadian copy is the only one in the census. When I can't get a scarce book any other way I end up saying Go Canucks! Again... Okay,since I suck at search function,and did not add this to my watched topics,I had to go through 48 pages of my posts to find this thread,,,, here is my rarest romance....as promised ages ago...

Dr. Love Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 A no-prize to you, Scrooge. The move from black to red is stunning. Great editorial decision, great choice of image. That's one mysterious photo cover. Speaking of which, you of all people might know the answer to this question: what would you say, roughly, is the % of photo covers for westerns? 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine48 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Nice. FYI, that's the photo on the cover of My Love # 2. http://www.atlastales.com/issue/2771 Thanks all.When I first got this,thanks Greenham!,I knew I had seen the cover and went through nearly both Gerber books to find it,almost missed the original due to colour change. Anyone else seen one,or another of this series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
