Secret Hearts, no. 32
Description
An account of the resource
<em>Secret Hearts</em> was published by National Comics, better known today as DC Comics, through its Arleigh romance imprint. As Michelle Nolan remarks, "National Comics is well respected by romance collectors for being one of the slickest purveyors of love during the post-Comics Code era, even though many 1950s and early 1960s stories tend to be merely mild fantasies" (79). In this issue, that is certainly true, as each story concludes with a couple's loving embrace. Notably, this comic includes an prose feature, "Ann Martin, Counselor-at-Love," in which readers write in for advice on romance-related topics, from prompting a marriage proposal from a reluctant boyfriend to choosing the right kind of photograph for a wedding announcement. (Reference: Michelle Nolan, <em>Love on the Racks: A History of American Romance Comics</em>. Jefferson: McFarland, 2008.)

Title
A name given to the resource
First Romance, no. 39
Description
An account of the resource
According to Michelle Nolan, romance comics saturated the newsstands in 1950, resulting in "the Love Glut. In 1950, publishers kissed off no fewer than 117 of 147 romance titles" (62). Harvey's <em>First Romance</em> was one of the titles to survive. This particular issue of <em>First Romance</em> reprints stories of heartbreak and true love from First Romance #22 (1953), along with features like "Clothing Closeups," which instructs readers in fashion conventions, such as "Concealment is better than revealment!" While many genre comics are overtly fictional, this romance comic opens with a statement that its first story, "Heartbreak in Hollywood," is "dramatically, sensationally TRUE!" (Reference: Michelle Nolan, <em>Love on the Racks: A History of American Romance Comics</em>. Jefferson: McFarland, 2008.)
