HOLLYWOOD ROMANCES "Discovery"

One of the kooler sub-genres of romance comics is the "starlet love" category...

...combining show business glitz with romance!
This tale is from the longest-lasting title in that sub-category!

Argentinian artist Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez began his American comics career at Charlton in 1967, doing a lot of romance comics work!

This never-reprinted tale from Charlton's Hollywood Romances #52 (1970) is from the end of his romance genre work as Charlton'e editors finally gave him a chance to branch out into horror which brought him to DC Comics' attention.

They offered him more money and used him in many different genres horror to sci-fi to superheroes!

Unfortunately, DC had cancelled their remaining romance titles a couple of months before they hired him!

But Garcia-Lopez barely noticed as he was swamped with work!

Jose became their primary licensed-property artist, with work on everything from lunchboxes to t-shirts to toy packaging to food items!

Today, at 70, he still works on projects for them, and shows no signs of wanting to retire!
