The Exciting Covers of Exciting Love


The magazine Exciting Love ran from 1941 to 1958 and it featured stories about lovelorn teenagers, loyal girlfriends waiting for their sweethearts to return from serving overseas, and married couples learning how to make it work.  If the magazine had been called Boring Love, it would not have lasted as long.

Below is a small sampling of the covers of Exciting Love.  I think almost all of these covers were done by Earle K. Bergey.  His signature is visible on a few of them and almost all of them seem to be done in his style.  The one exception is the the final cover.  That cover is from 1958 and, since Bergey died in 1952, we can be sure that he was not responsible for it.
