The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of WEIRD
LOVE #5 from IDW Publishing. The writers for the stories are not known; with
art by John Forte, Iger Shop, Mort Leav, Bob Rogers, and Odgen Whitney.
“I Was Too Beautiful” – Carole Allison is the most
beautiful girl in the world. So much that women thought she was a snob and the
men were afraid to ask her out…at least not the nice ones. A trip to Florida,
an arranged date with Dr. David Walsh, and a hurricane may change things…
“Thrill Crazy” – Martha is an ordinary girl who wants to
fit in with the rest of the gang…even if it means doing things she doesn’t want
to do. When she gets in way over her head, can the love from pharmacist Tom
Andrews bail her out?
“Mail Order Marriage” – Clara places an ad in the
lonely-hearts column in the hopes of finding a man better than the ones that
live around her farm. Two men are picked among the dozens that responded; but
both have secrets that could shatter Clara’s world apart!
GAA! These stories are so crazy; you will find it difficult not to laugh
at them. I can’t help but read these “romance” stories from a bygone era – it’s
like waiting a train wreck about to occur. The folks at Yoe Books do a great
job putting these collections together; and I’m grateful to have a chance to
experience these tales.
WEIRD LOVE #5 is in stores now, or available for ordering
at www.idwpublishing.com.
