Love in the Time of Covid-19 CINDERELLA LOVE "My Secret Yearning"

Beautiful socialite or dedicated lab assistant!
Who will win the handsome doctor?
It's a romantic triangle...created by disease!
Fran Matera illustrated this tale of desires, decisions, and disease from Ziff-Davis' Cinderella Love #7 (1952).
The writer is unknown, but it could be the book's editor Jerry (Superman) Siegel!

CINDERELLA LOVE "A Record-Breaking Affair"

Though technology changes, the human heart remains the same...
...as this tale, set long before iPods and digital music, demonstrates!
This story of workplace romance in a (then) high-tech setting was published in Cinderella Love #27 (1955).
If you don't know what "lp records" or "mimeographing" or "filing cards" are, ask your parents (or grandparents).

Trivia: There had been a previous series named Cinderella Love, which was canceled at #15.
At the same time as Cinderella Love, another comic from the same company, called Romantic Marriage, began publishing, continued to #24, then changed it's name to Cinderella Love, ending it's run with #29.
Thus, collectors of romance comics should note that Cinderella Love ran #1-15, then 25-29, with no issues 16-24!
Neither Cinderella Love or Romantic Marriages has been used as the title of a comic book since!

If you're old enough to read romance comics...
...you're old enough to get a job to pay for them!

CINDERELLA LOVE "My Gay Deception!"

No, it does not involve a lesbian relationship and a "beard"!
This was the 1950s, you silly gooses!
It involves photobombing with the 1950s version of PhotoShop!
Photo-manipulation software is now so prevalent in our lives that it seems we couldn't live without it.
But, as recently as the 1990s, doing what Carol did required expensive equipment and materials as well as some technical expertise.
Talk about a tale reflecting its' era...
This story from Ziff-Davis' Cinderella Love #6 (1952) was illustrated by Bob Oksner, but the writer is unknown.
Next week:
We haven't decided yet what it'll be, but we can guarantee that...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)
