Asian Amour ALL TRUE ROMANCE "Korean War Bride"

I've been going through the archives looking for romance comic stories featuring Asians...
...and besides some relationships in super-hero and martial arts series, all I found, so far, are tales about "war brides"!
With the current explosion of overt anti-Asian racism, we're running a RetroBog-wide presentation of stories showing how Asians and Asian-Americans been portrayed in comic books.
This never-reprinted story from Comic Media's All True Romance #11 (1953) is the first example.
Distrust and suspicion of "war brides"...whether Asian or European...was common, with many believing the women were "seductresses" taking advantage of "innocent" Americans via sex!
There are other types of tales out there...it's just going to take time to find them...
Next Week...
We Don't Yet Know What We'll Present!
But we Can Guarantee That...
