About the series
A long-running romance comic from Pines, Popular Romance ran for 25 issues between 1949 and 1954, offering classic tales of love, heartbreak, and courtship. The series is notable for the early work of writer Gary Jennings, who contributed frequently, and for its striking covers and interiors by a stable of talented artists including Nick Cardy, John Celardo, and Art Saaf. It stands as a solid example of the post-war romance boom, capturing the era's idealized, often melodramatic, vision of romantic relationships.
