Jorge Badia Romero? Charlton's Time for Love 47: "Dream Come True"



According to the Grand Comics Database, the cover of the last issue of Charlton's Time for Love, # 47, and the interior story, Dream Come True, are by Jorge Badia Romero. I'm not an expert on the Spanish artists who worked on American and European romance comics from the period (1960s through 70s), but to me I see some elements of this piece that look like either Jose Gonzalez or Enrique Badia Romero. In fact I'm led to suspect that maybe more than one artist contributed to this story. What do you think?




Derek cuts a formal profile but he's also a bit of a smooth talker, albeit a genuine one.




Kathy is apparently easily swayed by a flashy lifestyle and a sprinkling of cash!




Quite good story. I like the resolution to the dilemma. Very nice artwork - intriguing, tantalizing. Jorge Badia Romero - new discovery for me!

    Me encanta esta historia, y la portada es fantástica. .. gracias por mostrar las imágenes y sin lugar a dudas es de jorge badia romero. ( J.B galvez )Q gran artista...por desgracia poco reconocido por su temprana despedida, aunque con muchos trabajos publicados por Europa y usa.
    Es inconfundible su trazo para mi, esas larguísimas pestañas, el pelo y siluetas de las mujeres, las poses o el enfoque de las viñetas... en especial en las historias románticas o de terror q eran sus predilectas... Ahun que como artista polivalente q era dibujaba toda clase de géneros, romántico, terror, aventura, ciencia ficción, western...etc etc un gran artista en toda regla.
    Gracias por este post de badia, me enorgullece ver que amantes de mundo del cómic aprecian y admiran trabajos de badia.para mi es todo un orgullo.
    Un saludo.

      Oscar, thanks for your comment. I recently acquired some 1960s British romance comics that are drawn by Spanish artists. I'll post one or two soon and you can see if you are able to identify the artist. Maybe it is an early example of Jorge Badia Romero? We shall see.

      Oscar, gracias por tu comentario. Recientemente he adquirido algunos 1960 tebeos románticos británicos que se dibujan de artistas españoles. Voy a publicar una o dos pronto y se puede ver si usted es capaz de identificar el artista. Tal vez es un ejemplo temprano de Jorge Badia Romero? Ya lo veremos.
