NEGRO ROMANCE "Love's Decoy"

Happy Valentine's Day to all!
To celebrate, here's the last tale from Fawcett's incredibly hard-to-find Negro Romance #2 (1950)!
Fascinatingly, except for skin color, this could be a tale in ANY romance comic of the period, which makes sense, since writer Roy Ald was also the editor (and occasional writer) of the Fawcett romance comics line including Sweethearts, Love Memories, Romantic Western, Love Mystery, and True Confidences, so he knew his stuff.
Artist Alvin Hollingsworth was one of the few Black comic artists of the 1940s-1950s, illustrating every genre from Westerns to horror to sci-fi to romance.Like many Golden Age comics artists, he went on to do commercial art as well as becoming a noted fine art painter with numerous gallery exhibitions.

Next week:
We haven't decided yet what it'll be, but we can guarantee that...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)
And now a word from out sponsor...

YOUNG LOVE "Be My Valentine"

We had intended to post this on Valentine's Day...
...since this tale from the Golden Age team of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, who pioneered the romance comics genre was all about a Valentine's Day card and it's effect on both sender and receiver.
But s#!t happens, and, unfortunately, it's a day late.
Enjoy our belated Valentine to you, our faithful readers...
While Young Love was the second romance comic published (Simon & Kirby's Young Romance in 1947 was the first), it was the last ongoing romance title published by a major publisher, ending it's run in 1977.
Next week:
A tale from a never-published 1970s comic, scanned from the original art!
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)
