*Girls’ Picture Libraries: A further late 1950s/early 1960s selection of Pearson’s Picture Romance Library, with numbers ranging from #118 to #229. These start out with quite garishly coloured and often unintentionally hilarious photo covers with dialogue to match. These could well be the sort of things you’d see as humorous greeting cards today! Later issues feature attractive painted covers. We have an example of both below. In the first one, one of the lines of dialogue uses the phrase ‘Too Dangerous For A Girl’, which I couldn’t resist using as it’s a famous Legion of Super-Heroes quote. I tried it on Dr Evilla, and when I got out of hospital, she advised me of the error of my ways.
