My first Caps -- TS/TG themed

No alien devices or magic were harmed in the making of these Caps.

Ya win some, ya lose some

Dressed the way "Darling" is, is anyone surprised?

Why is Marcus whistling?

Nice work.
"falling in Love" is a little vague but still quite good.

Very good.
Is Noelle shocked, or is that giant milk shake giving her wind? :-)

Which one is vague, the one in the soda shop (no. 104), or the one with the sobbing woman in the pink dress (no. 64)? And what's vague about it?

No magic...I love it...

One thing you notice when you look at enough romance covers is that the "evil woman" who was making the heroine cry was catty, with a satisfied smirk; and she'd stolen the man away from the heroine by smiling lies. Yet it's my guess that in real life, when one woman manages to steal a man away from another woman, it's almost always by sexual wiles, not by lies and whispers. And yet, on the covers, never was the "evil woman" sexy. This total shutout was either because (a) the teen-girl readers of these romances found the idea of bedroom competition to get a boy to be way too threatening to want to read about, or (b) the Comics Code Authority decreed, "Thou shalt not put sluts on the cover."

In any case, of my three recaps above, the last two covers represent the sum total of the overtly sexual "evil woman" romance covers that I was able to find after all my searching. (Except that I didn't look at Charlton. I don't like the look of Charlton covers.) If there are any DC or Marvel romance covers that I've overlooked with sexy villainesses on them, sing out.

Three nice covers.


Charlton covers are, almost invariably, cheap and shoddy, but for me that is part of their appeal, and just adds to the challenge. Some of my favourite mods started life as Charltons.

Thanks. I thought your "Making Lemonade" cover was great.
