Romance Comics
I must confess to a soft spot for those wonderful romance comics that existed from the 1940s to the early 1960s. I don't understand why no one has taken the initiative to put a batch of them together and reissue them as an economy edition.
Meanwhile, we have Jeanne Martinet's wonderful 'Truer Than True Romance', probably the funniest graphic novel I've read in a very long time - but be a little careful - it's not for children.
