*Vintage UK/Australian Reprints of US Material: During the US comic-starved wasteland of the 1950s, many enterprising British publishers licensed reprints of the US material, and one of the more popular genres was romance, with literally hundreds of titles issued by dozens of publishers. We’ve featured several series in the last year, but this week, we wrap it all up for love (at least for now) with new additions, around thirty in all. Titles restocked include series from Miller (Confidential Stories, Life Story, Love Affair, Lovers, Romantic Secrets, Romantic Story and Sweethearts) World Distributors (Romantic Story, Sweetheart Diary, Sweethearts, and Thrilling Romances (Yes, Miller also used two of those same titles, it’s not an error), Strato (First Love, Young Brides, Young Love and Young Romance) and Glasgow’s Cartoon Art Productions (Romance and True Love Confessions). In grades ranging from Fair to Fine, this selection includes one Simon & Kirby issue of Young Romance (pictured), plus multiple fine artists such as Brewster, Schaffenberger, Saaf, Pike and more.
