Comics I Love Even Though I've Only Seen the Covers #11: My Life / My Desire

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm running out of material for these, so today I'm going to pair up two very similar titles published by Fox Features Syndicate in the late '40s. Both specialized in ladies who were a wee bit blasé about love.

Comics I Love Even Though I've Only Seen the Covers #10: Diary Secrets

Finally, the comic that dares to reveal what men wish women were thinking!

Comics I Love Even Though I've Only Seen the Covers #9: Boy Loves Girl

But that love, alas, is not exactly reciprocated...

Isn't romance sweet?

Comics I Love Even Though I've Only Seen the Covers #8: My Love

Romance: '70s-style!

The title of this post is a lie, because I have in fact read this next story, here. Alas, it's pretty condescending to the whole affair. They even get the year wrong ("in that summer of '68"), despite the fact that the comic came out only two years after Woodstock. Great art, though.

Comics I Love Even Though I've Only Seen the Covers #7: Career Girl Romances

And finally: an example of what happens when you let a comic-book artist create a cover right after he's been dumped for a slicker guy:

Comics I Love Even Though I've Only Seen the Covers #6: Wings

You ladies are the most daring pilots America has, so you should look your best! From now on, we expect you to wear 4-inch heels while smashing America's enemies. Will that be a problem?

Comics I Love Even Though I've Only Seen the Covers #5: My Secret Marriage

Here at My Secret Marriage, our goal is simple: we want to be the best damn adultery comic book on the market. Is that so much to ask?

Comics I Love Even Though I've Only Seen the Covers #4: Baffling!

Comics I Love Even Though I've Only Seen the Covers #3: Mystic

Challenge: One of these covers contains a hidden metaphor for the existential dread of Americans in the 1950s. Can you guess which one?

Answer: Nope, no subtext here, folks-- everything's fine!

Comics I Love Even Though I've Only Seen the Covers #2: Space Western Comics

Okay, they've apparently exhausted both the "space" and "western" genres-- "Hmm, We'd better throw some Nazis in there, too":

And, just to be safe, a vampire:

(Like many bloggers, I give myself the gift of "Low-Content Saturdays." Thanks to goldenagecomicbookstories.com and comics.org for the covers)

These covers, and the one from last Monday, come courtesy of the wonderful people at comics.org, who have pretty much posted every cover ever.
