Love is a Prison ALL TRUE ROMANCE "Love Blind"

There's a cliche about how "girls love bad boys"...
...and Sally Jones is about to discover how "bad" a boy Ace Miller is...and how he'll prove Love is a Prison!
The scripter for this never-reprinted story from Comic Media's All True Romance #9 (1953) is unknown, and the art is by the staff of the Iger Studio, who provided editorial and art services to small publishers who didn't have their own creatives.
So, we don't know who to credit (or blame) for this particular tale.
Note: as of the next issue, the publisher began producing their own material using a mix of established and new/upcoming writers and artists who created a unique look and tone for their entire line (not just the romance books) until the company's demise two years later due to the industry-shaking "Seduction of the Innocent" mania of the mid-1950s.

Asian Amour ALL TRUE ROMANCE "Korean War Bride"

I've been going through the archives looking for romance comic stories featuring Asians...
...and besides some relationships in super-hero and martial arts series, all I found, so far, are tales about "war brides"!
With the current explosion of overt anti-Asian racism, we're running a RetroBog-wide presentation of stories showing how Asians and Asian-Americans been portrayed in comic books.
This never-reprinted story from Comic Media's All True Romance #11 (1953) is the first example.
Distrust and suspicion of "war brides"...whether Asian or European...was common, with many believing the women were "seductresses" taking advantage of "innocent" Americans via sex!
There are other types of tales out there...it's just going to take time to find them...

ALL-TRUE ROMANCE "Man-Hater"

A story that typifies many mens' opinion of women in general...
...using sex (or at least kissing and petting) to manipulate the guys for financial gain.
This decidedly-misogynistic tale appeared in Comic Media's All True Romance #9 (1953).
Writer and artist(s) are unknown.
