Love Like Winning the Lottery in Dear Lonely Heart #1, Up for Auction
Dear Lonely Heart #1 is a rare romance comic launched by publisher Comic Media, who became notorious for its Pre-Code comic book titles.
Dear Lonely Heart #1, from Artful/Comic Media, was published in 1951, and features a pretty cool cover that will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside when you see it. It is also a rare book. While this raw copy, taking bids right now at Heritage Auctions, is at $36, it might go much higher than that. CGC only has four total copies on their census, one of the lowest numbers for a book I have seen in this auction. That means if you get this on the cheap, even with the damage listed in the auction, you could send this in to get graded and have a pretty rare CGC book and protect it at the same time. Check it out below.
