Agonizing Love

The Golden Age of Romance Comics

HEART AND SOUL "Second Love"

There are lots of stories about "first love", but few about the second time around.

Why is that?

While the writer of this never-reprinted tale from MikeRoss' Heart and Soul #1 (1954) is unknown, the art is by Ross Andru (pencils) & Mike Esposito (inks) on the first page and Mike Sekowsky (pencils) & Jack Abel (inks) on the rest of the story.

It's fair to assume that Andru and Esposito, as the editor and art director, did the first page of each story to give the other creatives a story "springboard" as well as model imagery for the primary characters.

Clever idea.

Too bad their publishing company was so short-lived.

Trivia: the company produced only four titles...three romance books (two of which were 3-D) and a MAD-style humor comic!

HEART & SOUL "Gigolo"

When you play at love, you may get played...

...as this never-reprinted sob-story from Mikeross' Heart & Soul #1 (1954) proves.

Pencils by Ross Andru, inks by Mike Esposito.

The writer is unknown.

The team of Andru & Esposito worked on numerous projects, including a long run on Wonder Woman in the 1960s.

They also had their own comics company in the early 1950s called MikeRoss Publications which published only four titles, three of which were romance comics!
