Divorce American-Style BEST LOVE "I Craved His Kisses!"

No, This Isn't a Romance on the Range Story...

...it's definitely Divorce American-Style, and just happens to start in the present-day West...specifically Las Vegas, home of "quckie divorces"!

Scripted by an unknown writer (but likely the book's editor, Stan Lee), penciled by Werner Roth & Bill Everett and inked by Everett, this story of divorcees, divorce lawyers, and...well...failed divorce (which means a rekindled, successful marriage) and another, likely, marriage...appeared in Timely's Best Love #36 (1950).

Divorce, American-Style BRIDES IN LOVE "Day of Divorce!"

June is the Month for Weddings, Right?

Art by Dick Giordano

Not here, it ain't!

According to myth, marrying between June 1st and June 20th would lead to everlasting love, since the Roman goddess Juno (Queen of the Gods) celebrated her festival during this time!
Normally, we'd do happy wedding tales in June.
But this year, we're feeling cranky and contrary!
So, let the never-reprinted recriminations begin...

Will other stories this month end as happily as this one by writer Joe Gill, penciler Joe Sinnott, and inker Vince Colletta from Charlton's Brides in Love #36 (1963)?

You really believe we're going to tell you?

Not with three more posts about divorce from the 40s to the 70s to go this month!

Prom Night: Dream or Nightmare? YOUNG ROMANCE "Price i$ Right!"

We started the month with Young Romance in the Golden Age (1940s)...

...and we end with it in the Bronze Age (1970s)!

Written by Irene Vartanoff and illustrated by Jack Abel, this never-reprinted story from DC's Young Romance #182 (1972) is a morality tale more than a romance, but it's told sincerely and effectively.

Prom Night: Dream or Nightmare? JETTA OF THE 21st CENTURY "Jet Jaunt"

It's Prime Time for Prom time...Even If It's in the Future...as Seen from the 1950s!

(We didn't skip the 1950s, just moved it down the line)

But, in teen humor comic books (even set in the future), things never go smoothly!

 

OK, maybe it's just as well that we of the real 21st Century still don't have flying cars...

As you might have guessed, Archie artist Dan DeCarlo was the illustrator for this tale from Standard Comics' Jetta of the 21st Century #5 (1952), which was actually her first issue!

(Issues 1-4 were a romance comic called Today's Romance!)

Prom Night: Dream or Nightmare? TEEN-AGE ROMANCE "When a Teen-Ager Falls in Love!"

It's Said That Girls Mature Emotionally Faster than Boys...

...so how does a 15 year-old sophomore get the attention of an 18 year-old senior?

(And yes, the prom is an integral part of this story!)

As you can see, a prom does play a critical part in this tale!

We know this never-reprinted story from Atlas' Teen-Age Romance #78 (1960) was penciled by Dick Giordano and inked by Vince Colletta.

But, the plotter/scripter is, sadly, unknown.

We speculate that the book's editor, Stan Lee, plotted it, with his brother, Larry Lieber the likely scripter!
And, you'll note that last week's tale was from the 1940s, with this one from the 1960s!
Did we leave out the 1950s?
Heck and gosh, no!
The 1950s prom tale will appear next week, with the 1970s tale winding up the month the week after!
Why aren't we running them in chronological order?
Be here next week to find out!
