Romance on the Range ROMANCE TRAIL "Untamed"

Can a Fine Filly Tame a Studly Stallion...

...or will a studly stallion tame a fine filly?
Enquiring minds want to know!






Though we don't know who scripted this never-reprinted story from DC's Romance Trail #1 (1949), we do know it was illustrated by Everett Raymond Kinstler, who later became a noted portrait painter,,,particularly of official Presidential portraits, as seen HERE!
Unlike many other comic book illustrators turned "fine artists", Kinstler has never been shy about his comic book work, which included every genre during a decade in the business!

Next week:
We wind up with a special multi-part, book-length Western Romance!
And we guarantee that...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)
And now a word from out sponsor...

REALISTIC ROMANCES "My Scandalous Affair!"

With a name like Realistic Romances, you know this will be a gentle, wholesome tale...
..."My Scandalous Affair!"...er, forget I said anything.
Just enjoy...

This cover-featured story from Avon's Realistic Romances #16 (1954) was illustrated by Everett Raymond Kinstler who went on to better things...notably portraits of the rich and powerful!
He's painted every American President from Nixon thru George W Bush!
Presumably, when President Obama has a free afternoon (he's been rather busy with projects like disposing of Bin Laden.)...
In fact, Kinstler's Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan paintings are the official White House portraits for them!
Unlike many other "fine" artists who started out doing commercial art, Kinstler happily acknowledges his comic book work.

Trivia:
This story was from the second run of Realistic Romances which ran #15-#17.
The first series ran from #1-#8.
A third series from another publisher ran #1, then #8-#9!
So if you're looking to collect this title, there's no #10-#14, but two #1s and #8s!

Next week:
We haven't decided yet what it'll be, but we can guarantee that...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)
