Thanks darwination!  I've been ignoring so many good comics and you have scanned a million of them.

Adventures 01 - In Romance (1949) (St. John) (JVJ-Two-Dar)

Ooh, boy, this is a neat one from JVJ's collection, big thanks to him for sharing and also thanks to Twoby for the scan work.

I've been interested in this series since reading the Leonard Starr in John Benson's book on the St. John romances.  Accompanying the interview is the photo used as reference for this excellent cover.  The model used in the photo is Nadine French King who in another interview in the book describes running the office for St. John (Nadine appears on the back cover of this issue, they worked together on some sort of in-house merchandising).  Jim didn't include the index for this one because the full index on the St. John books is available here

http://www.fantagraphics.com/downloads/stjohnchecklist.pdf

which lists this issue's contents as:

ADVENTURES IN ROMANCE 1, November 1949. Cover: painting by KING Oversized pages.
KING  September Squall
STARR  Stopgap: the Saga of Coby Nash
BOLLE  Heels Over Head in Love
STARR  The Black Lily

I think you can tell they put some effort into the issue. I most definitely had a good time working on it.  The layout is kind of irregular, and, in some places the pages sort of spill into one another or the printing drifts off the page, but it's kind of neat that way

Enjoy and thanks to all the other site scanners, administrators, donators, etc.  It's always such fun to have a big stack of "new" golden age comics around to read.

First Love Illustrated 039 (Harvey 1954-Apr 36p c2c - Darwination & BeagleBoy)

Big thanks to Snard for the editing duties.

I really like the cover on this issue, but isn't the constant voyeurism on the Harvey covers a little weird?  The dark London streets, the redhead in red and the purplicious background, naughty naughty .

Enjoy!

I'm not sure if this one really belongs on the site, but it is sort of a platinum age forbear to the comic, so I thought I'd share in case there was any interest.  Since it's not a comic, I'll just stick to the external link.

Fun Section 1912-03-31 (N.Y. World)

Here's the kids' section of the New York World, an odd mix of cartoons, jokes, puzzles, and advertising.  This publication's claim to fame would be the publication of the first crossword puzzle in 1913.  Thanks to McCoy for the edit.
