The Golden Age Romance Comics Archive What started as a silly undergraduate fling has blossomed into an enduring love. Your host Jenny Miller buys old romance comics on a certain online auction site and scans them for all the world to see. Ubiquitous after the Second World War, these passionate tales were effectively killed off by the dreaded Comics Code of 1954 -- which is a shame, because this stuff is pure gold. Gown shop employee Avis wrestles with that old familiar problem "Too Many Men" in Glamorous Romances. "Patsy and Hedy, Career Girls" tangle with the ups and downs of demanding journalism careers and super-fun beach parties in "Sky, Sea and Sweethearts." And Country and Western fans saddle up to Range Romances, featuring the hickory-smoked yarns of "Gunsmoke Heartbreak," "Petticoat Law," and "Tenderfoot Sweetheart." (in Comics & Animation)
