Amorous Education CAMPUS ROMANCES "What College Failed to Teach Me"

The Older Man/Younger Woman Trope Gets an Added Boost...

...with a never-reprinted story that involves (potentially) incest!

Can you tell this is a pre-Comics Code Authority story?

Illustrated by Ed Waldman and scripted by an unknown writer, this tale from Avon's Campus Romances #2 (1949) is meant for an older audience (late teen/early adult) audience than romance comics from the mid-1950s onward!

A History of American Romance Comics

Amorous Education CANDY "Chemical Formula"

The Amorous Education story we presented last week...

...was the final version of a plot used three times by writer Jack Mendelsohn.

This is the second version of the tale!

This never-reprinted story from Quality's Candy #42 (1953) has some differences from the later Tippy Teen tale, but the similarities are unmistakable.

Be here on April Fool's Day, when we present the original version of the story!

Amorous Education CAMPUS LOVES "They Said I was Fast"

Is this how the repressed readers of 1950s comics saw college sex...

...as if school was a modern Sodom?

Quality Comics' Campus Loves #2 (1950) presented this "naughty" tale, which couldn't be reprinted after the Comics Code came into effect, even with numerous alterations like similar tales we showed HERE and HERE!

The art is by Bill Ward, who later became noted for risque "good girl" work like this cover art...

 I'm not ashamed to admit it's in my personal library.

It's a Price Guide!

I use it as reference!

Really...

Agonizing Love

The Golden Age of Romance Comics

Amorous Education CAMPUS LOVES "My Shameless Deception"

Think the catty schemers of The CW and FreeForm are innovative?

...well, such machinations were a common plot element when your parents (or even grandparents) were in class and the school paper was the Internet of it's time!

Ripped from the pages of Quality's Campus Loves #4 (1949), this tale of truth and tattletales doesn't have any credits and even the experts at the Grand Comics Database are stumped as to the identities of the writer and artist!
Interestingly, when it was reprinted only a year or so later in Quality's Love Experiences #12 (1951), there were some weird, almost arbitrary changes made, starting with the title and opening caption...

...and minor changes to backgounds, as seen here, but no other text or art changes censoring women's clothing as seen HERE!

Amorous Education SORORITY SECRETS "Secret!"

Halloween's over, so it's time to return to class...

...where students are diligently-applying themselves to the subject at hand!

Moral: if you don't like someone, blackmail them with a lie (but only if there's nothing truthful that's really juicy).

Ironically, that's exactly the sort of thing we see on prime-time soaps today, almost 70 years later!

This never-reprinted tale from Toby's Sorority Secrets #1 (1954) shows the styles of several noted Golden Age artists.

Among the talents listed as working on the book (but not as to which stories they did) are; Bernard Baily, Ben Brown, David Gantz, and John Rosenberger.

This particular story shows both Baily and Rosenberger's work in certain panels, so we'll go with them as the illustrators.

The writer, though, is unknown.

Cupid returns to the classroom...

The publisher is noted as the only comics company with more than a single title to last only 6 months!
