Love on the Racks: A History of American Romance Comics by Michelle Nolan

4.0

I discovered this book while researching comics for my podcast. I found it to be very informative, if a little repetitive at times. This is a good comprehensive review of the history of romance comics, which had their heyday in the late 1940s through the 1950s. They did continue into the sixties and onward, but as a shadow of their former selves. The Comics Code did a number on a lot of the more interesting possibilities for the romantic stories.
