British Update: A Many-Splendoured Love Update – Titles from Miller, Streamline, World Distributors and More
*Vintage UK/Australian Reprints of US Material: This week’s selection of second-hand love (UK repackaging of American originals) spans several publishers. From World Distributors, we have Exciting Romances from #1, reprinting primarily Fawcett material with photo-covers. From Trent – a publisher we’ve not heard of before – Falling In Love, 68-page collections of the top-line DC romance title. Miller is represented this update by two ongoing series: I Love You, primarily reprinting the Charlton series of the same name, and Love Affair, reprinting – no, this one’s stumped the panel; we have no clue! And finally, a succession of Streamline one-offs: Foolish Bride, Frightened Bride, He Scorned Her (all three with early Wally Wood art, and the latter a 68-page giant with a delightfully pulpy cover), His Love, Long Distance Wife, and Love Locked Me Out. The Streamline one-offs are mostly from the notoriously cheapjack Fox Comics line, so while they’re interesting historical artefacts, expectations… should be managed, let’s say. Illustrated: Falling In Love #9 (FN £15), Frightened Bride (FN £10), and He Scorned Her (FN £15).
