Romance comics is a dead genre in comics today, and this series
may show the reason why. To be fair, superhero comics were just as goofy during
the 50’s, 60's and 70’s. It WAS the Silver Age of comics. That being said, these
weren’t all that bad stories, with some very nice art to go with it. It’s worth
checking out storytelling from a bygone time…
WEIRD LOVE #4 is in stores now, or available for ordering
