My Love, along with the carbon-copy Our Love Story, was Marvel’s attempt to reach the largely untapped, teenage female audience with a “with-it, sophisticated” love comic done in the mighty Marvel style that had proven so popular with the Y-chromosome set in the 60s. An unintentionally funny period artifact, My Love is a wonderful example of what nerdy 40-ish men thought would seem “Like, Wow!” to teenage girls at the tail end of the swinging 1960s. My Love went so far as to employ several top-line Marvel artists like Gene Colan, John Romita, Sr., and John Buscema, as well as to raid the Atlas vaults for the occasional 1950s reprint from the pen of Jack Kirby or Al Williamson. My Love lasted 39 issues, then petered out in the general market contraction of the mid-1970s, which saw the end of romance comics as a genre in the United States.
