Bob Powell and John Prentice - Original Art for First Love #69, Complete Stories, Group of 4 (Harvey, 1956). A real find for fans of romance art, this lot contains 4 complete stories, featuring so many gorgeous romance images. Among the group, is a 5 page tale, "Remember, I'm Your Girl", by George Roussos (attributed), "Bedeviled," is also a 5 page story, with magnificent art by John Prentice, who went on to take over Alex Raymond's Rip Kirby newspaper strip. This excellent work by him undoubtably served as suitable proof of his ability to work in the Raymond manner when the call came. "Doomed to Heartbreak" is another 5 page tale with Bob Powell art, and "No Love for Me" is a finely rendered romance story by Alden McWilliams (attributed). Finally, the contents page displays trademarks of a layout by Jack Kirby (attributed), which is entirely possible, since Kirby did do the covers for First Love #67-70. The art paper measures 15" x 19", with a 12" x 18" image area. The work shows some very minimal aging, and white-out usage, but overall, the work is in excellent condition. There is some great romance art in this lot, easily on a par with that done for DC or Standard's romance titles.
