Amorous Education CAMPUS ROMANCES "One Way Romance"

If you thought last week's story about a girl falling for a guy who looked like a younger version of her father was weird...

...wait until you see this little tale!





Yeah, waiting until she graduates to marry won't get any tongues wagging!
I can see the first faculty get-together after the wedding...
"Hi, Professor Banner!
Congratulations on your nuptials!
Odd, your lovely bride looks so...familiar?"
"Oh, she was in your European Classical Literature class last semester, Professor Warren!"
Illustrated by Jerry Grandenetti, and scripted by an unknown author, this never-reprinted story from Avon's Campus Romances #2 (1950) is an interesting insight as to what was "polticially-correct" back then!

YOUNG ROMANCE "See Yourself as He Sees You"

Here's a totally-surreal tale from the editor who created the romance genre in comics...
...which appeared in the next-to-last issue of this series!
In 1947, Joe Simon (with Jack Kirby) created Young Romance, the first romance comic, for Prize Comics...which sold the title to DC when the publisher went out of business in 1963.
In 1973, DC returned Simon to the editorship of Young Romance as of #196.
Joe attempted to "update" the title by dropping all the traditional "romance artists" from new material, assigning edgier, experimental types like the ones who illustrated this short from #207 (1975), Jerry Grandenetti and Craig Flessel.
It didn't work, and, with sales dropping, the book (which had gone bi-monthly) ended with the next issue, #208.
