Young Love 5, 1949

This comic was published by Prize Comics, and is an early romance comic series. It contains artwork by Ann Brewster, and several other artists drawing in the Simon & Kirby style. There is no connection between this series and the later long-running series of the same name published by DC Comics.

I think the girl on the cover is very beautiful, but the tagline "TOO MANY BOY-FRIENDS" promises a torrid, tawdry tale.

Pre-Code romance stories are often remarkably hard-hitting, before the entire genre was reduced to insipid melodrama under the stifling restrictions of the Comics Code Authority
