For the better part of three decades romance comics were an American institution. Nearly 6000 titles were published between 1947 and 1977, and for a time one in five comics sold in the U.S. was a romance comic. This first full-length study examines the several types of romance comics, their creators and publishing history. The author explores significant periods in the development of the genre, including the origins of Archie Comics and other teen publications, the romance comic "boom and bust" of the 1950s, and their sudden disappearance when fantasy and superhero comics began to dominate in the late 1970s.

You are so lucky to have a friend like me, Carol Diane Bond. I’m sharing with you my poetry, and my simplicity of what love is. I’ve expressed my inner most feelings to you for your pleasure. These treasures of true’s will send you into a mystical, magical world of head spinning, heart throbbing, electrifying dreams and fantasies. Feel the heat, imagine the love, experience the heart break, and lose yourself in passionate romance. I started writing poetry as a high school assignment. “Means of Faith” began my debut for writing about “Love and Romance”. Searching into the depths of my soul I expressed myself through words like no novel I’ve read. “Partners in Parade” is an anthology of poetry that puts a mirror before your eyes. It speaks words of love and romance that every woman should speak to her man and every man should speak to his woman.
