In the Technological Dark Ages, Before Social Media...

...the main way people kept track of their love lives was thru Love Letters & Love Diaries!

In fact, they 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?)

Tender Love Stories of the 1970s

WarTime Love

Weddings

Western Love

will help get your point across on the Most Important of Days!

But order quickly, V-Day is less than a month away!

Space Force Saturdays SPACE PATROL "Balloon Men of Jupiter"

Just when you think you've seen the weirdest art Basil Wolverton could create...

...you find something even weirder!

The multi-talented Basil Wolverton wrote, illustrated, lettered, and probably colored, this wild tale from Amazing Mystery Funnies #21 (1940).
I'd love to see someone animate these classics of surreal storytelling.

Friday Fun DIZZY DAMES Moronica in "Woman on the Street"

As we mentioned last week, there was a slew of "dumb blonde" comics in the early 1950s...

...including this anthology, Dizzy Dames, which carried the headline "Screwballs in Skirts" above the title logo!

Illustrated by Owen Fitzgerald and probably scripted by editor/art director Richard E Hughes, this never-reprinted tale from ACG's Dizzy Dames #1 (1950) features a stereotypical blonde with the rather insulting name of "Moronica".

The other ongoing strips feature equally-demeaning names for the female leads including Knothead Nellie, Man-Huntin' Minnie of Delta Pu, and Dee Licious!
To be fair to the creatives, the actual characters were unique and distinctive, not just clones of each other!

Forbidden Adventures

History of the American Comics Group

Reading Room STRANGE ADVENTURES "Radioactive Invasion of Earth!"

Remember when obsessed sci-fi toy collectors almost doomed the Earth...

...and only rock and roll music could save us?
No?
Good thing we're here to remind you...

Writer Gardner Fox was noted for his scientific accuracy and meticulously-plotted stories.

So why did he have scientists handling radioactive material without protective clothing or shielding?

Otherwise, this tale from DC's Strange Adventures #84 (1957) makes total, logical, sense!

Note: the story, penciled by Sid Greene and inked by Bernard Sachs has only been reprinted once, in Showcase Presents Strange Adventures Volume 2 (2013), and only in black and white!

Wonder why they're keeping it so well hidden?

Think about that next time you're ordering toys from Sideshow or some other vendor...and note if the toys give off a weird, unearthly glow...

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder YARS' REVENGE "Qotile Ultimatum"

When is a comic book not just a comic book?

When it's also a user's manual supplement explaining concepts behind a video game!

Bonus: Here's an illustration showing the positions of the planets in conflict in the game...

Writer Hope Shafer, and artists Frank Cirocco & Ray Garst created a simplified version of creator Howard Scott Warshaw's backstory for the game.

The mini-comic was included in the package with the game cartridge and actual manual.

Trivia: Yars' Revenge was the best-selling title of the entire Atari 2600 console's games line!
