The Month of Love is upon us
« on: February 01, 2017, 10:14:23 PM »

So with Valentines Day just around the corner there will be an uptick in Romance Books hitting the site.

Made possible mostly by JVJ's huge amounts of Romance books from his collection that were scanned before the project had to be wrapped up.

Scans ably made by Rangerhouse and Soothsayr, with edits by myself and Movielover and others will be adding their efforts.

and when we actually reach the 14th (and you are absolutely sick of Romance books) we are gonna smack you over the head with a giant flood of even more Romance Books!

and since we have sooooo much romance "ammo" piled up, it'll just keep coming the rest of the month!

This next bit I was gonna save for the flood, but it provides an interesting compare & contrast of a pre-code story that was later changed when reprinted in the Comic Code era.


From the JVJ Collection , scanned by Rangerhouse with Edits by David Miles


Harvey's:

Hi-School Romance 30 (July 1954)
&
Hi-School Romance 47 (Jan 1956)


look for the story titled: "No Greater Love" (same artist as the main story in Chamber of Chills #19 btw)

None other than Bob Powell. I was surprised how minor the changes were, compared to other post-Code chop-ups.
