...before we continue, I gotta ask: "What's a 'flaming love story'?"
A year ago, airline stewardess Bonnie Taylor met a charming Irish fishing boat captain named Johnny Shannon during a layover in Ireland!
The two fell deeply, intensely, passionately in love...
(I think I'll save that one for our annual Halloween blogathon in October!)
This never-reprinted tale from DC's Young Romance #135 (1965) was scripted by Robert Kanigher and illustrated by a guy who would jump from DC to Marvel only a few months later...replacing Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko on the flagship title and eventually becoming Marvel's art director for over 20 years....John Romita Sr!
DC's Silver-Age editors believed romance titles needed ongoing strips to keep the readers coming back and every book had one during the mid-1960s.
They ran from traditional-style soap operas (Reach for Happiness and 20 Miles to Heartbreak) to series about unmarried working women seeking love in the Big City or their workplace (Private Diary of Mary Robin RN and 3 Girls -- Their Lives -- Their Loves)!
