The Romances of Nurse Helen Grant

Marvel's The Romances of Nurse Helen Grant is a single-issue comic from 1957, a brief entry in the publisher's pre-superhero era. The story is most notably illustrated by the prolific Vince Colletta, whose work here reflects the romance genre's focus on personal drama and emotional stakes. Though it stands alone, the issue offers a snapshot of mid-century Marvel's attempt to capture the readership of nurse and romance comics.
