Venus #8

From Marvel's charming "Romantic Tales of Fantasy" series, this February 1950 issue poses the tantalizing question right on its cover: can Venus charm her way out of "The Love Trap?" The cover presents the golden-haired goddess herself reclining gracefully on a moonlit hillside, dressed in a flowing red gown with a gold belt, her hair sweeping in the night breeze beneath a luminous full moon. A lovely piece of mid-century romance comics at its most dreamy, all for just a dime.
