Характеристики

This is a good copy of My Love Story No. 7 from April 1957 from Atlas (Marvel) Comics.  Atlas had two long running romance titles -Love Romances and My Own Romance - that had sold well for many years.  After flooding the market in the early fifties with about fifteen different types of romance/love titles that only lasted one or two issues, Martin Goodman added a couple of strong titles in Lovers and Love Tales.  All books were doing well and a couple of other titles, this being one of them were added.  (This started as Secret Story Romances and switched to this title with No. 22.  Probably too close in title to some of the other romance books and so to set it off as different started it with a T.  Most newsstands would display comics in alphabetical order, so now it would not be near Secret Hearts, etc.)  Some of the best artists were assigned to these books such as Matt Baker, Alex Toth, Jay Scott Pike and of course Vincent Colletta.  This features a Vincent Colletta cover and interior story.  I think Colletta drew the most gorgeous women and Stan Lee must have felt so too, since he drew nearly half of the romance covers from the late 1950's.  This also features a Jay Scott Pike story.  Pike recently passed away but he was an outstanding artist and excelled in the romance genre for Atlas and DC.  He also co-created Dolphin in Showcase No. 79 which has one of the most iconic covers of the Silver Age.  This also features art by Ann Brewster and Tom Scheuer (for those interested, it is pronounced Sawyer.  Go figure.)  (All info per the GCD and Timely/Atlas Facebook group.)

I grade this book at Good.  A well read book with some penciling on front and back cover along with color loss, probably due to tape pull.  Small tear on bottom of spine.  Check out the large scan for your determination of grade.  Pages are off-white and supple.  Color and gloss are nice and it has nice eye appeal.  Cover and centerfold are attached.  My starting price should make this an affordable book to add to your collection.

I will ship either first class or media whichever is cheaper. Other shipping can be arranged but buyer will have to pay the difference. Foreign orders are OK with sufficient positive feedback.
