Description: Woman comforts man after a punch in the jaw
Comment: Don’t let the condition statement turn you off… this has everything that anyone could ask for in a Coby Whitmore. An appealing story about a woman illustrator who (much to the chagrin of her boyfriend, a fine artist) falls for one of her models. Not exactly a piece of feminist literature, yet quite ‘modern’ in overall feeling and mood. Accompanied by a full copy of the magazine
Price: $2,900 (includes domestic shipping)
