About the series
In 1955, Charlton Comics published the single issue of Negro Romance, a groundbreaking but short-lived romance comic that centered Black characters and their stories, a rarity for the era. Written primarily by Roy Ald and illustrated by Alvin Hollingsworth, the issue offered a sincere, if brief, glimpse into the lives and loves of its protagonists within the segregated landscape of 1950s America. Though it only saw one release, its existence stands as a notable, early effort to bring diverse representation to the romance genre and mainstream comics.
