British Update: Falling In Love, Secret Hearts and more – 1950s DC (and other) Romances from Trent
*Vintage UK/Australian Reprints of US Material: In the 1950s, the little-remembered Trent Book Co. of London dabbled in comics for a time, specialising in 68 page romance anthologies which kicked off with the high quality DC product; two titles which took their mastheads directly from the US series were Falling In Love and Secret Hearts, with contributions from John Romita, Bernard Sachs, Sid Greene, Irwin Hasen, Irv Novick, Bob Oksner and more. Cunningly, though, Trent also launched the confusingly similar True Love Romances and True Love Stories series in the same format, but with a miscellany of romance reprints (we detect the sinister hand of the Ajax-Farrell shops, as well as others we can’t identify), often (but not always) hidden behind repurposed DC covers, in a classic bait & switch! We have new copies of all four known Trent romance series, beginning with their first issues. Pictured are Falling In Love #1 FN/VF £30 and Secret Hearts #1 FN £20; prices on all the others may be found in our online catalogue. ALL #1 ISSUES SOLD
