Alex Toth Tales POPULAR ROMANCE "Blinded by Love"

This tale about a love triangle from childhood to adulthood...

...and from lighthearted fun to tragedy would make for a heck of a Hallmark Channel movie!

This poignant Alex Toth-penciled and Mike Peppe-inked story from Standard's Popular Romances #22 (1953) is probably the single-most reprinted tale from any of the company's romance books.

Next Week:

We don't know...yet...what Alex Toth Tale we're going to present!

But we can tell you this...

You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!

Alex Toth Tales THRILLING ROMANCES "Chance for Happiness"

Can a war bride find happiness in America with her ex-army husband?

Or will annoying in-laws who look down their noses at immigrants screw the whole thing up?

While the scripter of this poignant tale of redemption and reconciliation from Standard's Thrilling Romances #23 (1953) is unknown, the pencil art is by comics legend Alex Toth (with inks by Mike Peppe) who went from being one of comics' best storytellers to designing/art directing most of the 1960s-70s non-funny animal output of tv animation studio Hanna-Barbera, including Space Ghost, Scooby-Doo, Super Friends, and Josie and the Pussycats!
So, this month, our topic is one particular artist, and we'll be featuring his romance comics art from the 1950s through 1970s!

Treasures Retold

Lost Art of Alex Toth

INTIMATE LOVE "Desirable!"

Some of the best romance comics of the 1940s-50s came from small companies...

...as this never-reprinted tale from Standard's Intimate Love #28 (1954) proves!

All a simple misunderstanding!

Love the 1950s touches like the idea everyone in Greenwich Village is a poor bohemian/artist (our streets are filled with rich lawyers and hedge fund managers now) and the involvement of Communists!

Penciled by Art Saff and inked by Mike Peppe, the story's author is, sadly, unknown.

Next Week...

We don't know yet what we'll present!
But, we can guarantee that...

You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!

(Yeah, we say that a lot...but it's true!)
