Cartoon Library friends and fans, we need your help!
Recently, we’ve had the sheer joy of cataloging a large collection of original art from old romance comics, all published by the long-defunct Toby Press. While many of the works we came across were immediately recognizable, there are a few that have us stumped.
Can YOU identify the artists for the following six romance stories?
Note: These images are only the covers of the stories, though we do have the inside pages available if they will aid in your sleuthing. The first page of the story has been used where the covers were not available.
Help us by leaving a comment with your discoveries below!
Click on the images to zoom in for a closer look.

I see some Jack Kamen in the faces of the ‘A Friend of the Groom’ splash. I believe Mike Peppe inked the splash of ‘The Love Shelf’, can’t pin the penciller.

the artist in the second piece is usually identified as Valerie Barclay.
She tended to use the same faces over again, as you can see by comparing two sample pages here
