Magazine Cover Comics: The Romances of Gloriette
Nell Brinkley was a regular contributor of Hearst magazine cover series, even though she seemed to be kept plenty busy on the weekday romantic cartoons as well. You'd never know she was overworked, though, when you look at the amazing design work that went into pages like this one from The Romances of Gloriette. Seriously, embiggen this cover and just marvel at that top panel especially.
The story told in verse is supplied by Berton Braley, and it's the standard romantic girl-spurns-boy-until-she-doesn't business. This series, distributed through Hearst's International Features Service arm, ran from August 10 to November 16 1930.
