British Update: Old Young Love! And Young Brides… and Young Romance…
*Vintage UK/Australian Reprints of US Material: In the 1950s, Strato/Arnold acquired the rights to repackage Simon & Kirby’s three groundbreaking romance titles from the 1940s – Young Brides, Young Love and Young Romance. But the usual 68-page black & white squarebound format required an insatiable influx of material, so the repackagers, with a splendid disregard for order and method, reprinted love stories from any American publisher they could strike a deal with – with the result that each issue is a mish-mash of Simon & Kirby, Atlas, ACG, Quality, Ajax/Farrell, Charlton, or any number of random heartstring-pluckers! We have selections of these three titles newly in, many with Simon & Kirby reprints (differentiated within our listings) and several… not, although there is often some fine work among the non-S&K issues. Young Brides are refreshed from #4 to #37, Young Love from #12 to #39 and Young Romance from #9 to #38. Pictured are Young Brides #5 FN £20, Young Love #16 FN £20 and Young Romance #9 FN £20, all Simon & Kirby issues.
