Today’s Romance

    (Standard, 1952)
™ and ©1952 Visual Editions, Inc.

After super-hero comics fell from grace in the early 1950s, science-fiction, horror, Western, and romance comics became big comic book business; and, in 1952, Standard Comics offered up four issues of Today’s Romance, complete with photo covers featuring examples of “today’s couples” with captions like, “In his eyes I saw he was mine alone, and would always be.” Heavy sigh, eh? The stories were standard fare for the romance genre—jilted lovers, second chances, unrequited feelings—but, with the exception of some Alex Toth artwork in #6, nothing really made this title stand out from the others that populated the newstands.
