We Have Already Seen...
...before we continue, I gotta ask: "What's a 'flaming love story'?"
A year ago, airline stewardess Bonnie Taylor met a charming Irish fishing boat captain named Johnny Shannon during a layover in Ireland!
The two fell deeply, intensely, passionately in love...
Continuing her penchant for Celtic men with a supernatural bent, the very next issue finds Bonnie falling for a Scotsman from a Brigadoon-like town that appears for a few days every century, then disappears!
(I think I'll save that one for our annual Halloween blogathon in October!)
This never-reprinted tale from DC's Young Romance #135 (1965) was scripted by Robert Kanigher and illustrated by a guy who would jump from DC to Marvel only a few months later...replacing Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko on the flagship title and eventually becoming Marvel's art director for over 20 years....John Romita Sr!
DC's Silver-Age editors believed romance titles needed ongoing strips to keep the readers coming back and
every book had one during the mid-1960s.
They ran from traditional-style soap operas (
Reach for Happiness and
20 Miles to Heartbreak) to series about unmarried working women seeking love in the Big City or their workplace (
Private Diary of Mary Robin RN and
3 Girls -- Their Lives -- Their Loves)!
The Bonnie Taylor, Airline Stewardess series ran from #126 to #139.
