Love Secrets (Quality)

    (Quality, 1953-1956)
™ and ©1954 Comic Magazines

The late 1940s and early 1950s were the Golden Age of romance comics, when talented creators actually tried to tell mature and sophisticated illustrated stories of love and betrayal for a much wider audience of readers. Love Secrets was an above-average entry from Quality Comics, a publisher that lived up to its name on most of its titles. Love Secrets wove tales of emotional complexity that did not preach artificial values or shoehorn characters into preset and predictable modes of action. Artists and writers like Ogden Whitney worked in a style that was clean and visually pleasing without crossing over into the empty, slick look of later romance titles. Love Secrets (formerly known as Love Letters) was one of the last books that Quality published, holding out until 1956.
