Millennium Edition: Young Romance Comics

    (DC, 2000)
™ and ©2000 DC Comics, Inc.

DC Comics celebrated the millennium mark by offering its readers the best and most vital examples of the comic book art form. The Millennium Edition comics’ reprint some of the publisher’s most creative, cataclysmic and collectible issues ever published.

Purchasing the rights to the Jack Kirby/Joe Simon creation Young Romance from small publisher Crestwood, DC Comics published the romance title “Designed for the More Adult Readers of Comics” late into the 1970s. Reprinted in this collection (”I was a Pick-Up,” “The Farmer’s Wife,” “Misguided Heart,” “The Plight of the Suspicious Bride Groom” and “Young Hearts Sing a Summer Song”) is a sampling of what made the genre so popular. Told from the woman’s point of view, it was the philosophy that comics should be for all interests and age groups—be it boy groups, patriotic heroes or romance—that made this title so popular.
