CRYING OVER DICK.
For the record, 1950s/‘60s romance comics are the biggest treasure trove of perverted nonsense in all of pop culture. Stories of loss and longing created for young girls, written and drawn mostly by grown men, freighted with creepy stereotypes and questionable morals, and distributed in a package designed to be overlooked by adults. Seduction of the Innocent, indeed.
I’m assuming there are three or four serious dorks who follow me… can anyone put names to the artists on these panels?
The last one’s the only piece I feel fairly confident about: I’m guessing it’s Keith Pollard, being inked by Romeo Tanghal to look like George Perez. The fourth one from the top could be early Gene Colan. And the third from the bottom looks like one of the Buscema brothers. The rest? No clue.
