I just stumbled across John Glenn Taylor’s blog Easily Mused, with an immortal post about Why Chicks Cry, with panels from a load of 1960s romance comics of crying women. It’s genius. The cheap paper and printing techniques give them a very recognisable visual style, and with the tears generally bei ...

They say that into every life a little rain must fall, especially if you are a female trapped in a romance comic. I never read romance comics much, and more's the pity, because I could have learned a lot about the fairer sex, such as what makes them cry. Turns out, pretty much anything... Headaches ...

Originally Aired on: Feb 08, 2009 The whole romance comic genre blows my mind. Think of it, it's a whole style of comic that is written by men, illustrated by men, for women, about love and relationships.

I assumed Love 1977 was a one-shot issue from K.G Murray until I recently came across Love 1975. It appears there was a series of ‘Romance Annuals’ - presumably there was a 1976 instalment, and possibly more. Curiouser and curiouser....
