On Valentine's Day, tell her (or him) "Giddyap, Honey!"
Right?
Someone thought so back in the 1950s, when two of the most popular genres--romances and Westerns were combined into Western romances (or Romantic Westerns) in both prose fiction and comics.
True Love Comics Tales™ has digitally-restored and remastered the best of the comic cover art from that all-too-brief shining period of American literature for a new line of Valentine's Day goodies including greeting cards, diaries, teddy bears, even shirts, tops, and, well...bottoms for men and women at Western Love™
Just the thing for the cowboy or cowgirl in your life!

Reading Room: INTERPLANETARY POLICE "Rumpus on Rex" Conclusion
When Last We Left Our Heroes...
The Space Siren plans to mine the valuable newly-discovered mineral Taganium, found only on asteroid Rex.
However, she lacks transport for the bulky metal.
So, she steals several freighters from a starbase on Venus.
However, Captain Bruce Warren of the InterPlanetary Police has tracked her to Rex, found the stolen ships, and radioed for backup.
Enraged, Tanya attacks Warren's ship and a space dogfight ensues...
Why is it good guys in comics are so hot for bad girls? (Batman/Catwoman)
But good girls tend to be attracted to really dull good boys? (Wonder Woman/Steve Trevor)
This high-adventure story from Buster Brown Comic Book #30 (1953) was written by Hobart Donovan, penciled by Reed Crandall, and inked by Ray Willner.

Reading Room: INTERPLANETARY POLICE "Rumpus on Rex" Part 1
Defending Law and Order in the Far Future (as seen in the 1950s)...
...and now penciled by the legendary Reed Crandall!
Be here tomorrow for the exciting conclusion!
Curiously, the previous adventure ended with The Space Siren evading capture (but clearly alive) and our heroes heading for Mars.
Yet, here they're returning from Venus and they believe Tanya is dead!
Is there an "unpublished adventure" floating around somewhere?
