Romance on the Range GOLDEN WEST LOVE "A Woman Scorned"

A Sub-Sub-Genre Within the Sub-Genre of Western Romances...

...was the "Contemporary Western Romance", which took place in the present day,







Like stories we presented HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE, this never-reprinted tale from Kirby Publishing's Golden West Love #2 (1949) took a character from a contemporary urban setting and placed him/her into a rural Western-style environment.
Illustrated by Bruno Premani, the writer is unknown.
Kirby Publishing (no relation to Joe Simon & Jack Kirby) is unique in that it only published six titles during it's two-year existence, half of which were romance books: Enchanting Love, Golden Love, and Golden West Love!

Next week:
We haven't decided yet which Western Romance Story it'll be, but we can guarantee that...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)

GOLDEN WEST LOVE "The Love I Almost Lost"

It's not often we run a real-life love story about a celebrity...
...and, in addition, it's a romance set in the Wild West!
Annie Oakley appeared in almost 300 stories in the 1950s and '60, including several strips in anthology comics, numerous guest appearances in other character's strips, and at least two solo comic books.
This story from Golden West Love #2 (1949) was penciled by Tex Blaisdell and inked by John Augustin.
The writer is unknown.

We're Not Sure Yet Exactly What We'll Present!
But...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
