Title: ALL-TRUE ROMANCE No. 9
Place Published:
Publisher:Comic Media [Indicia: Harwell Publications, Inc.]
Date Published: January, 1953
Description:
CGC certified: Good+ (2.5). Cream to off-white pages. Note: PBA sent this mag to CCS (CGC's pressing & cleaning service) to have a prominent bend flattened before slabbing. Six months later, CCS notified us that they couldn't press the mag due to "fragility." We suspect that a careful presser, such as Tony Starks at Comics in a Flash, can do a fine job of flattening this mag and boosting the grade. Cover and art by Iger Studio talent. CGC Census: Only three graded copies, the highest being 3.5. GPAnalysis: No reported sales in any grade.
Blonde bombshell bamboozles boozy buffoons: "You chumps! If you only knew how I hate you!" A knockout cover from Comic Media, packing the one-two punch of simplicity and cynicism that typifies the output of rival publishers Ajax-Farrell and Superior. Like Ajax-Farrell and Superior, Comic Media sourced its content from Jerry Iger's comics-packaging schlock shop. Comic Media and Ajax-Farrell seem to have had an ownership connection: sharp-eyed indicia buffs will note that Comic Media and Ajax-Farrell shared a common name in their multifarious shell-game of sub-imprints: corporate statements indicate that the "Dearfield Publishing Co., Inc." had ownership stakes in both companies.
