Looking at Jerry Bails Who's Who, the only match I found for Glamorous Romances is Valerie Barclay (aka Violet Barclay). Switching back to the GCD, Valerie is credited 5 times (mostly for Atlas/Marvel stories) and Violet twice (both for St. John books).<br /><br />Any chance of learning more about this series?<br />Thanks!Darcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598465647270663106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-74158867682984300622010-02-21T23:11:41.388-05:002010-02-21T23:11:41.388-05:00Mykal: Yeah that last line is a good one. And the ...Mykal: Yeah that last line is a good one. And the other exchange you picked out is a classic as well. The more of these airline stewardess romances I read the more they make me think that life as a pilot or stewardess must be kind of strange - sort of like no fixed abode, always on the move, and it must make relationships difficult and certainly different. But is that just what they're like in comics, or are the comics somewhat reflective of real life? I don't know anyone who works airlines, although my sister-in-law was a stewardess on the hovercraft service that ran across the English Channel back in the day - nice uniform but not exactly the same lifestyle as an airline stewardess - she was home every evening.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745482563627003570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-5734497042542666512010-02-21T12:16:23.704-05:002010-02-21T12:16:23.704-05:00KB: "What's she got that I haven't go...KB: <i>"What's she got that I haven't got?"</i> asks Nina. <i>"Yes, but Penny's not only pretty, she's nice,"</i> retorts the friend. Any more questions, Nina? <br /><br />Great comic and really pleasing art. It's a good story, too. Simple, yet cohesive and clear. Also, that last line is simply astounding!
