GREAT LOVES "Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning"

Ever wonder if writers of romantic fiction were, themselves, happy...

 ...if they actually found True Love, or just wrote about it?

Well, wonder no more!

Written and illustrated by Jerry Robinson (who co-created both The Joker and Robin the Boy Wonder), this brief, never-reprinted tale from Gold Key's Dear Nancy Parker #1 (1963) was the first in a projected series about famous real-life lovers.

Unfortunately, Dear Nancy Parker was cancelled after the second issue...

THRILLER "Haunted Honeymoon"

Long before Michael Jackson, Thriller was a spooky anthology TV series (and comic)...

...hosted by (and occasionally starring) horror movie legend Boris Karloff.

Illustrated by long-time artist Tom Gill (who specialized in Westerns), this tale from Gold Key's Thriller #1 (1962) is a light-hearted romp told with gentle whimsey.

Interestingly, the couple are shown in a queen-size bed at a time when movies and tv shows had their married couples in double beds!

BTW, the weird "color bar" effect between the panels was an experiment Gold Key did for several months, eventually discarding it when they received complaints the gimmick was too distracting.

Be here next Wednesday for more Halloween-season fun!
