Dear Lonely Hearts

A short-lived but distinctive romance comic from Comic Media, Dear Lonely Hearts ran for eight issues between 1953 and 1954, offering a unique twist on the genre by framing its stories through a fictional advice column. The series is most associated with artists Marty Elkin, Bill Discount, and the signed work of Tewks, who brought a consistent visual identity to its tales of love, heartbreak, and second chances. Though brief, it stands as a curious artifact of mid-century romance comics, blending melodrama with the popular "lonely hearts" concept.
