About the series
From 1954 to 1955, St. John Publications presented Going Steady, a five-issue romance comic that captured the earnest, post-war courtship anxieties of its young readership. Anchored by the writing of Dana Dutch and the clean, expressive artwork of Ben Brown, Frank Thorne, and Matt Baker, the series offered a snapshot of mid-century dating rituals through its heartfelt, self-contained stories. Though brief, it stands as a charming artifact of the romance genre's golden age, showcasing the collaborative talent that defined St. John's line of confessional comics.
