For Valentine's Day, She'll Love...Love Diaries and Love Letters!

Art by John Buscema
Until the intro of texting, blogs, MySpace and FaceBook, the main way people kept track of their love lives was thru Love Diaries & Love Letters!
In fact, those contents of those small books with the easily-broken locks made up one of the most popular sub-categories of romance comics, with literally dozens of titillating titles!

Let our selection of the best of these these kitchy, campy (and very kool) classic comics covers help you express your true feelings on the Most Important of Days--Valentines Day on greeting cards, teddy bears, mugs, and even "naughty" undies!

And, if they can't assist your love-life, perhaps something from one of our other sections at True Love Comics Tales™ including...
All You Need is Love...
Beatrice Fairfax
Confessions
Lovers Lane
School of Love (or is that Love in School?)
WarTime Love
Weddings
Western Love
will help get your point across on the Most Important of Days!

Reading Room: SPACEHAWK "Creeping Death from Neptune"

How could you not want to read a story with a title like that?
Plus: story and art by the unique (to put it mildly) Basil Wolverton!
This premiere tale from Target Comics V1 N5 (1940) was just the tip of the iceberg!
There's much more interstellar weirdness from the mind and pen of Basil Wolverton to come!

If MegaUpload can be Deleted, Can Picasa and Other Cloud-Based Sites be Next?

Considering Picasa, RapidShare, and other image/file lockers may (repeat MAY) have a few "inappropriate" or "copyright infringing" images on them, could they be shut down as MegaUpload was, punishing many innocent users who have nothing more insidious than Christmas pix...or Public Domain comic pages on them? ;-)
MegaUpload was shut down without the extended powers SOPA/PIPA would give the government!
Imagine what they would do with SOPA/PIPA in their arsenal!!!
Be afraid!  Be very afraid!
In the meantime...
Don't use "cloud based" servers as your only backup!
What happened to MegaUpload can happen to any of them!

Reading Room: INTERPLANETARY POLICE "Space Trap" Conclusion

Tanya, the Space Siren, attacks a space liner, but doesn't steal anything!
Why?
Captain Bruce Warren of the InterPlanetary Police is briefed that she's looking for a supply of Atovar, a new fuel more powerful and efficient than Uranium!
Word is leaked that the Star Queen will be transporting the fuel to Venus with the intent that Warren and his brother, Officer Terry Warren, will capture the Space Siren when she attempts to steal it!
The Siren hijacks the cargo, and returns to her secret base with the InterPlanetary Police trailing behind.
As the cops land on the planetoid, the Siren's men open the containers to discover...
When we rejoin Bruce and Terry next issue, the Mars situation is already cleared up and they're on their way back from Venus!
This never-reprinted story from Buster Brown Comic Book #29 (1952) was written by Hobart Donovan, penciled by Ray Bailey and Reed Crandall, and inked by Ray Willner.
