Fantastic! Cardy was one of my favorite romance cover artists (along with Giordano). There are a few more Nick Cardy romance covers at http://romancecomics.tumblr.com/tagged/cardy

ReplyDeleteNick Cardy good.
Very awesome covers. But is "Doormat for Love" as awesome as it looks?

Cardy was the best, great penciler, even better inker. And I think he was better with the smaller art boards starting in the mid-60s. Carmine Infantino thought Cardy was the best. Only thing he did that I didn't like was all the superhero covers he did at the end of his time at DC. Of course, any art with a woman in it was something else -- always painfully terrific.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Cardy's superhero covers too, especially the Action Comics ones.
ReplyDeleteGreat line-up, Jacque (are YOU a nice girl?). That Mom cover is a hoot, it reminds me of the UK TV show Hotter Than My Daughter.
Totally agree -- few can top the romance covers of Nick Cardy. My favorite Cardy romance cover

Sooooooo many good ones! Thanks for sharing your favorites everyone!!! I only wish he had drawn more romance. If you ever have a chance to meet Mr. Cardy at a convention, be sure to say hello. Not only an amazing artist, but such a kind man.
ReplyDeleteElaine -- to answer your question! "Doormat for Love" is as good as it looks! Stay tuned! I see it in our near future here at Sequential Crush!
ReplyDeleteJacque - Awesome! I do love things like this. I only have a small "collection" of these stories myself-- the deeply awesome "Romance Without Tears"-- and I'm fascinated by the whole genre.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us!
Cardy is a very talented artist, particularly good in the romance department. I'm especially fond of the "Get Lost!" cover.
ReplyDeleteHi Jacque,
ReplyDeleteFalling in Love # 137's cover looks a little odd to my eye, as though another hand were involved besides Cardy. Perhaps some touch ups/alterations by Colletta, particularly the womans face.
Cardy did sign it with his initials -- hard to see on my scan, it got cut off a bit. I don't doubt anything though! It does have a not 100% Cardy quality to it...
