Take the survey below then check out who wrote it in the bottom left-hand corner. (Circa 1975)
POSTSCRIPT
There are still romance comics coming out to this day. True to life or even recycling the old images for a rewrite. It would require a show unto itself, modern love comics. Regardless, I totally cherish every romance comic I have. The smell, the worn in look, the colours, the inking, the precocious stories written by men, for women. They are perfect little gems. Each issue offering something in the way of style, story or supposed slice of life outcome.
