Gay Comics #31

A smitten young man in a loud plaid jacket floats on a cloud of hearts while three young women react with varying degrees of exasperation around him — and the cover's speech bubble makes the situation perfectly clear: "What do you mean HOW can I tell that Flicker is in love with Millie?" This 1948 Marvel humor title captures the breezy romantic comedy spirit of the era with bright, lively artwork and an instantly relatable premise. Gay Comics #31, featuring "Beauty Blues!", is a cheerful ten-cent slice of postwar funny-pages charm.
