American Update: Love For Sale! – DC, Charlton, Marvel Romance top-up!
*Romance: We’re always looking for love here in the 30th Century, and we’ve acquired enough now to put out an update for aficionados of the strange and contorted way comics presented relationships, from the 1950s to the 1970s. From DC, we offer Girls’ Romances – a title that would have a very different vibe today – from Charlton, a dollop of I Love You with side dishes of Romantic Story, Secret Romance and Soap Opera Romances; and Marvel steps up with Love Romances and the silly, but exquisitely illustrated, Our Love Story. To round it out, a vintage romance title from Realistic Publishing of the 1950’s, the appropriately-entitled Realistic Romances #2, with such true-to-life dilemmas as “Kissless Honeymoon”, “Fatal Romance”, and “Deadly Triangle”. Read the stories that helped the battle of the sexes carry on for generations!
