Amorous Education SEARCH FOR LOVE "Atomic Amour!"

With all the current talk about Russkie deceit and deception...

...we forget they were masters of such things during the Cold War!

Since the story begins in high school, we thought we could list it under the subhead "Amorous Education".
As hard as it is to believe, this tale appeared in a romance comic, specifically, ACG's Search for Love #2 (1950).

Similar tales had appeared in crime/espionage titles, but their audience was radically-different from romance series' readers!

Regrettably, both the writer and illustrator(s) are unknown, so we can't blame anybody in particular for their stereotyped attitudes towards intelligent women.

Amorous Education JETTA OF THE 21st CENTURY "Jet Jaunt"

It's almost springtime...and more importantly, it's almost PROM time!

But, in teen humor comic books (even comics set in the future), things never go smoothly!

OK, maybe it's just as well that we of the real 21st Century still don't have flying cars...

As you might have guessed, Archie artist Dan DeCarlo was the illustrator for this tale from Standard Comics' Jetta of the 21st Century #5 (1952), which was actually her first issue!

(Issues 1-4 were a romance comic called Today's Romance!)

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?)

Amorous Education CAMPUS LOVES "I Stole My Roomate's Man"

Now that's a catchy title!

Does the story live up to the hype?

Judge for yourself...

When this story was reprinted in a British comic, this page was omitted.

There are no credits available for this never-reprinted (in America) tale from Quality's Campus Loves #1 (1949), so it's likely a studio of creatives working on it.

JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY "Man Who Changed!"

Here's a decidedly-different (and very sweet) take on Valentine's Day...

...with an ending you won't see coming!

Illustrated by Penciler Jay Scott Pike and inker Christopher Rule, this story from Atlas' Journey into Mystery #27 (1955) isn't a typical romance.

But sometimes we need to be reminded that "love" takes many forms from passionately-romantic to simply caring about someone else...and that everybody deserves to be loved!

Since we're posting today, there won't be a post on Wednesday, February 16th, but we will be back on February 23rd!

💕Happy Valentine's Day!💘
