A review by sarahreadsaverylot
Young Romance: The Best of Simon and Kirby's Romance Comics by Michelle Nolan, Joe Simon, Michel Gagné, Jack Kirby
4.0
Retro romance at its finest.
The stories are refreshing in their earnestness, and occasionally sobering in their portrayals of conventional romance with its rewards and pitfalls. Especially interesting in the collection is the contrast in story-lines pre/post censorship bylaws.
Brimming with snappy one-liners, exuberant physicality, and rose-tinted romance, this collection is a sexy edition to any bookshelf.
