Do You Have A Moment?
It’s been a busy week: we added a couple of new consignors to our weekly eBay auctions. I prefer to buy collections; more money upfront but generally there is more ‘meat on the bone’ for us as in better margins.…
Please Forgive Me Sweetheart
Chris and Walt pulled the classic bone head move and forgot it was Valentine’s Day, so they are posting the Valentine’s show a couple of day’s late. At the beginning the discussion is around Romance Comics and how cool a…
Covered 365: Day 157

Covered 365: Day 149
Love Stories #149, DC Comics, March/April 1973 – Artist: Not known, though they give Vince Colletta inking credit. You have to look at the cover to Love Stories #149 for a little while before the full scene really starts to…
Covered 365: Day 121
Falling in Love #121, DC Comics, February 1971 – Artist: Tony DeZuniga. I remember back when I was thinking about doing this project, I had some issues already picked way in advance. I wrote a quick list down, Surfer #4,…
Covered 365: Day 120
Heart Throbs #120, DC Comics, June/July 1969 – Artist: Neal Adams. I’m not going to apologize for this being a Romance Comics. The cover to Heart Throbs #120 is as scary as a pre-code horror and of course in many…
Covered 365: Day 99
Falling in Love #99, DC Comics, May 1968 – Artist: Ric Estrada. This cover is amazing, I’ve been looking for a high grade one for years and have never been able to track one down. Please note this is not…
Covered 365: Day 81
Teen Age Love #82 – Charlton Comics, February 1972 – Artist: Torre Riposo. I can honestly say Day 81 is the 1st day that I had difficulty picking a cover. I didn’t want to cheat and pick Ghost Rider because…

A great comic book cover matching each day of the year, 1 through 365. Please chime in with your favourite corresponding cover, from any era. Day 45 – Teen Age Romances #45, December 1955, Artist – Matt Baker. I didn’t…
Undervalued Spotlight #432
True To Life Romances #11, Star Publications, May 1952. Happy Valentines Day everybody. This might be my favorite Spotlight of the year as it means I get to scour the deep and rich history of Romance Comics and pick one…
Undervalued Spotlight #381
Hi-School Romance #11, Charlton Comics, October 1951. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. This by far is my favorite post of the year. As a rule I try not to pick in advance the Valentine’s post comic, I really enjoy the exercise…
Undervalued Spotlight #365
Girls’ Love Stories #176, DC Comics, February/March 1973 I was so excited about this pick that I couldn’t wait for this post to share it. After the beating I took on my last spotlight though I got a bit gun…

Undervalued Spotlight #278
Cinderella Love #29, St. John Publishing, October 1955 Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. I’d like to shine the Valentine’s Day spotlight on a comic that features a Matt Baker cover. Matt Baker is a legend, a giant, truly one of the…
Undervalued Spotlight #190
Young Love #104, DC Comics, June/July 1973. Happy Valentine’s Day, I hope yours is filled with Young Love! There are a lot of undervalued comics in the Romance genre but alas I’m faced with the same dilemma as our cover girl Theresa, I can only pick one.

Undervalued Spotlight #113
For Lovers Only #78, Charlton Comics, April 1975 You can’t press love nor can you assign it a grade, and as much as you’d like to you can’t “Buy it Now” either. If you’re making an offer then it’s simply not…
