A MOON, A GIRL...ROMANCE "Summer Love"

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!

We don't know yet what we'll present, but we can guarantee...

(includes all 3 issues of Confessions Illustrated [including the never-published final issue]
Note: The Confessions Illustrated volume is unavailable separately from the Picto-Fiction set, but the whole set is well-worth it!)

A MOON, A GIRL...ROMANCE! "I Was a Flirt!"

Before EC Comics became (in)famous for doing horror comics...
...they covered every genre in comics, including romance!
They just didn't do all of them as well as horror...
Illustrated by "Ghastly" Graham Ingels, this tawdry tale from EC's A Moon, A Girl...Romance #9 (1949) is, perhaps, the perfect example of why EC is not known for its' romance comics.

We're Not Yet Sure Exactly what We'll Present!

SADDLE ROMANCES "Saddles in the Sky!"

Let's return to a romance sub-genre we haven't visited in a while...
...with the added twist that this story from EC's Saddle Romances #9 (1949) takes place in contemporary times!
With cover and interior art by then-still developing illustrator "Ghastly" Graham Ingels, this tale manages to take several well-worn cliches and make them entertaining!
