Love On The Racks

When World War II ended the comic book buying public started to loose interest in the plethora of superhero comic books. Publishers need a new shtick and so was born Romance comic books.

Romance comic books proliferated and were hugely popular. Before Romance comic books most comic books were read by young boys. With the introduction of love and Romance a whole new demographic was drawn to comic books-young girls.

Author Michelle Nolan and McFarland & Company Inc., Publishers, present a history of American Romance Comics in a brand new softbound book: Love On The Racks,  filled with art, information about the various types of Romance comics, the creators, publishers and more.

Romance comic books were at the height of their popularity for about 30 years: 1947 to 1977, but still managed to hold on with fewer titles after that period.

Collectibility of Romance comics has heightened and collectors have finally realized that some of the most innovative Romance comic books were written and drawn by top talent.

Don’t you just ‘love’ it?
