Strangest advice column
So I’m guessing these columns started in the late 60’s. I say guess because I can find no information on these guys and unfortunately I don’t have every romance comic in existence. The first one I saw was Marc and his advice shtick is to be a chauvinistic jerk. Later on I was introduced to Paul, apparently he’s Marc’s brother. Though I think hes the same guy with a mustache. Paul’s deal is he’s nice.
My favourite artists
Elizabeth Berube
I can barely find any information on her. She’s considered the last woman to work for DC Romance comics. She started with them in the early 70’s and I adore her style. When I get a romance comic with her art in it, it’s a total jackpot.
Ric Estrada
I’ve only found him in “Young Romance” #162. His art style is very slick compared to the majority, so this issue is a pleasure to read.
Robert Kanigher
This story is from “Young Romance” #194 and it was a social commentary on the struggles inter-racial relationships encounter. Kanigher was an interesting writer who managed to maintain an intense drama within his stories without being cheesy like most.
