With autumn right around the corner...
...here's a tale for the final weekend of warm weather that really fits the concept of a "beach read'!
You'll note a couple of two-page spreads at the beginning of the story.
This particular comic series,
St John's Adventures in Romance #1 (1949), experimented with doing double-page spreads to establish a distinctive "look".
Sadly, it only lasted two issues. ;-(
Artist Warren King spent several years in comic books doing everything from superheroes to horror to romance, before moving into newspaper cartooning, becoming the in-house editorial artist at the
NY Daily News and winning the
National Cartoonists Society Best Editorial Cartoonist Award in 1968.
Next week:

You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)
And now a word from out sponsor...
