Before doing comics work for Stan Lee (all genres but ending up as one of his romance regulars) J. Scott Pike was a magazine illustrator. Later he returned to his first profession, working for big magazines such as Playboy. These two scans are from the time I thought it better not to include the article. So pretty as it is, I can't really say what it was from, except that they seem to be from True and Collier's, two of his regular clients.

Romancing the Style
Friday Comic Book Day.
For some years in the early forties, somewhere between the bullpen days of the late fifties and the production line rushjobs of the late fifties, the Marvel (or rather Timely) romance books used most of their regular artists for often surprising results. Here are some of the big names moonlighting in romance. I have added an early story by J. Scott Pike, because his early style was so much more impressive than his later work and because of the name of his protagonist.
