Wedding Bliss WEDDING BELLS "Deferred Bride"

For those of you who had to postpone nuptuals due to Covid (as my niece did)...

...this is a story title and concept (though not the particular reason for the delay) that you can relate to!

Sadly, neither we nor the Grand Comics Database can figure out who created this never-reprinted tale from Quality's Wedding Bells #5 (1954).

Quality sold its' properties to DC Comics in 1956, and only Blackhawk, GI Combat, and Heart Throbs were continued without a break in publication.

Though other titles and characters such as Plastic Man have been revived since, none of the other romance titles have ever returned to print.

💗BTW, my niece is finally getting married this weekend!💗

Amorous Education/Wedding Bliss OUR LOVE STORY "A Boy to Marry!"

Our final Amorous Education entry until September...

...involves graduation and the choices made after it, as this cover by John Buscema and inker John Verpoorten shows!

Written by Stan Lee, penciled by Gene Colan and inked by Dick Ayers, this tale from Marvel's Our Love Story #8 (1970) shows not going to college has its' benefits...perhaps not the message Stan meant to send...

It's also a perfect segue into our theme for June...Wedding Bliss, all about the actual ceremony when two souls are bonded into one..but in romance comics it doesn't always go smoothly, as you'll see starting next week!

FOXHOLE "Dear Joan--!"

Getting dumped by your Significant Other is a traumatizing experience....

...but discovering it in the middle of a pitched battle is...well...read for yourself...

Art for this tale from Charlton's FoxHole #6 (1955) by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio, a mainstay of the Charlton line with numerous credits in both war and romance comics, so he's an excellent choice to render this story.

The writer is unknown.

Happy Memorial Day to all!

Love on the Racks

A History of American Romance Comics

Amorous Education PERFECT LOVE "Lesson in Love"

Did private schools really have such restrictive rules for the faculty as shown here?

Or is this never-reprinted tale from Ziff-Davis' Perfect Love #8 (1952) just badly-scripted?

Wow! Are they strict or what?

We know it's illustrated by penciler Jim Mooney and inker Bernard Sachs...but we don't know who the writer was since the records for Ziff-Davis' long-defunct comics division no longer exist!

Amorous Education GIRLS IN LOVE "The One Boy I Wanted"

As we head deep into prom season...

...let's see how "typical 1950s teens" handled going to it!

The number of cliches in this tale defy belief!

Everything from "if you take your glasses off, you'll be beautiful" to "will you marry me?"...on the first date!

While the writer and artist of this story from Girls in Love #47 (1955) are unknown, I'd like to ask one question...

Why does everyone who's supposed to be a student look at least a decade too old?
It's like watching Riverdale!
