Before EC Comics became (in)famous for doing horror and sci-fi comics...
...they covered every genre in comics, including romance!
They just didn't do all of them as well as horror and sci-fi...
Illustrated by "Ghastly" Graham Ingels, this tacky tale from EC's A Moon, A Girl...Romance #11 (1949) is, perhaps, the perfect example of why EC is not known for its' romance comics.
To be fair, that's not quite accurate...EC's post-horror comics title Confessions Illustrated was a first-rate romance b/w graphic magazine (not comic), targeted at the late-teen/young adult audience!
But it didn't sell, and, like the rest of the Picto-Fiction line is incredibly hard to find today!
Next Week:
We don't know yet what we'll present, but we can guarantee...
