*Romance: A classic of the romance genre this week from Simon & Kirby; from 1949, Vol 2 #5 of Prize Comics’ Young Romance (also numbered as #11 in the series). A title later famously taken over by DC, ’52 pages of real life comics’, started out with a packed 15 pager by Simon & Kirby, and although there’s a lot of captions and word balloons, the King’s art style really shines through, particularly on the glorious splash page and the ironic cover. Subsequent stories by accomplished artists of the time such as Leonard Starr, Lee Elias and Bill Draut. This is a nice mid-grade copy with deep cover colour, very slight spine roll and minor corner blunting but hey, great for a 71 year old!
