John Buscema Tales OUR LOVE STORY "Boy Who Can't be Mine!"

Though Marvel continued publishing romance comics until 1976...
...they stopped running new material in 1973.
This tale from Our Love Story #16 (1972) was John Buscema's final romance comic assignment.
Written by Stan Lee and inked by Joe Sinnott (who inked more issues of Fantastic Four than anybody else in history, including almost all of Buscema's stories), the story demonstrates Buscema's almost effortless mastery of graphic storytelling, going from plot point to plot point with a variety of angles and perspectives that a TV or movie cinematographer would be proud of!

Amorous Education HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL DIARY "Forbidden Subject"

Think college romances are tricky to deal with?

High school presents equally-difficult problems for hormonally-driven teens...
This fairly-saccharine, never-reprinted tale from Charlton's High School Confidential Diary #2 (1960) was scripted by Joe Gill, penciled by Joe Sinnott and inked by Vince Colletta.
The Comics Code Authority took a lot of the excitement out of what was a pretty exciting genre which previously was aimed at a late teen/early adult female audience!
Take a look at 1940s and 1950s stories we've run to see what I mean!
By the time the Code was revised and "loosened" in the early 1970s, it was too late for the all-but deceased romance genre!
