12:56 pm [strannik01] [Link]	When romance comics were downright creepy. As anybody who read romance comics scans in both versions of our fine community can attest, romance comics often featured romances between young girls and men that were (at least) a couple of years older then them. But none of them were quite as creepy as "The Man of My Dreams," a story that appeared in Love Problems and Advice Illustrated #2. Now, I know that age consent worked a bit differently back then (it didn't count if you were married), but still... The names of the artist and writer who created this are lost in the mist of time, which is probably just as well. ( Why no, I would not mind marrying a girl who was 15 a few days ago (9 pages under a cut) ) Dial-up link link (even if less and less people need it every day) Tags: era: golden age, genre: romance, publisher: harvey comics, status: public domain (57 comments \| Leave a comment)

01:52 pm [strannik01] [Link]	Archie Comics' other romances After Joe Simon and Jack Kirby pioneered romance comics in the late 1940s, every other publisher quickly jumped on the bandwagon. Archie Comics was no exception. Ultimately, it didn't catch on and Archie Comics decided to stick to publishing adventures Archie Andrews, his supporting cast and the variety of "teen-age" imitators that tried to replicate the formula that made the original so successful. Now, when it comes to finding romance comics with objectionable undertones, you really can't go wrong. At best, you'll find something mildly cringe-inducing. At worst, you'll find something like "Cottage of Love." It's hardly the most cringe-inducing romance comic ever published, but good God... The story originally appeared in Darling Love #8. Writer and artist unknown. ( Where a woman discovers that having a career will ruin your life and will make your man have implied sex with loose women (11 Pages under the cut) ) And, as a bonus, an advice column and a celebrity gossip column from the same issue. ( Suprisingly sensible advice under the cut ) For the few readers who still have dial-up (or are reading this from a wireless hot stop), here is a link.

09:50 pm [lang_ea] [Link]	It's Baaaaaaaaack.... Since I feel like taking a 'nother communal field trip down to comic book history, I give thee a few pages I scanned off of a typical romance rag which may or may not have mindrinsed a few 14 year olds in its time. Welp, let us snark. ( Oh, so it's alright as long as it's the village bicycle? ) Tags: era: bronze age, genre: romance, publisher: dc comics, title: falling in love (35 comments \| Leave a comment)

04:46 am [peur_evol] [Link]	AMERICA'S SWEETHEART America's love affair with Patsy Walker lasted over twenty years.From her first appearance in 1944 until her last in 1967, she maintained at least a moderate degree of popularity (enough to carry three titles simultaneously at one point). The earliest stories, like this, show the series fully realized from the start; no slapstick or forced gags, just simple homespun comedy with the accent on characterization. This is her fourth appearance, from MISS AMERICA #5, February 1945, which is accredited to Ken Bald(?) and Dan Barry(?). But none of the resources I've consulted seems to be sure.

05:53 pm [magnetic_regina] [Link]	HAI GAIS It's taken me for freakin' ever to figure out how to post. Apparently I friended instead of joining or something. Bah! Anyway a new romance comic for you. ( Lovelorn #39 1953 ) Also: a couple of questions. Is anyone interested in me reposting some of the comics I did for Scans_Daily 1.0? And Mods just to be extra safe, do the pages I posted in Scans_Daily 1.0 count towards the page count in Scans_Daily 2.0?
